<p>A woman has been arrested after standing behind shot Pc David Rathband and saying &#8220;bang, bang&#8221;, police said.</p>
<p>The woman, who had red dyed hair and was dressed in blue denim and gold jewellery, apparently pretended to shoot a gun as she did so.</p>
<p>Pc Rathband, who was shot and blinded by gunman Raoul Moat during his rampage in July, was walking into Newcastle Crown Court when the prank took place.</p>
<p>A Northumbria Police spokesman said a woman, who has not been named, was arrested for a public order offence.</p>
<p>A witness said: &#8220;Pc Rathband was walking, approaching the front of the court building when this woman stepped out behind him and went &#8216;Bang, bang&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was being accompanied by a family liaison officer who turned round and saw this woman making a gun sign behind his back.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pc Rathband has been in court most days since giving his prosecution evidence in the trial of two men alleged to have been Raoul Moat&#8217;s willing accomplices.</p>
<p>Qhuram Awan, 23, of Blyth, Northumberland, and Karl Ness, 26, of Dudley, Gateshead, deny conspiracy to murder, the attempted murder of Pc Rathband, a firearms offence and robbery of a Northumberland fish and chip shop.</p>
<p>Ness also denies the murder of karate instructor Chris Brown. The trial continues.</p>
