A YouTuber has shared their terrifying encounter with a gun-wielding homeowner whilst filming a flashlight review.

Mike Dancy was a taking a walk at around 10pm in Vaughan, Ontario, testing out the torch when two men began shouting at him.

One of the men, who was armed, is heard telling the filmer to, "get the f*** out of here".

Dancy told Newsflare: "While filming a flashlight review in an abandoned Kleinburg home, I was confronted by a homeowner wielding what appears to be a sniper rifle. The tense exchange highlights growing concerns about local crime and safety.

"I had never met them before. My kid was in the area and I was waiting for him to get off work. It's easier to park near his restaurant and just hang out then it is to risk falling asleep and missing his call.

"I did not call the police but someone did and an investigation is ongoing. The detective involved will keep me updated."
