An alleged pedophile pulled a gun on child predator catcher Alex Rosen during a recent attempted bust.
Footage posted to X documented the harrowing moment Rosen approached a suspected child predator named “John,” who immediately went to his car, grabbed a firearm, and used it to threaten Rosen and his crew.

Prior to the encounter, John told Rosen, “These people here, I don’t even know who the fuck they are,” as he pointed at Rosen’s film crew.
“John, hold on,” Rosen told him, as the man walked toward his vehicle telling Rosen also to, “Hold on.”
The man went on to grab a gun and point it at crew members, with Rosen responding, “Ok, I’m leaving,” as the man turned the gun on him.
Additional footage shows Rosen speaking to officers and acknowledging he’s aware of the danger in his line of work.

As yet, it’s unclear whether the man will face charges for brandishing the gun in a threatening manner.
The capture is just one of dozens of disturbing busts conducted by Rosen and the Predator Poachers team as they travel across the country baiting pedophiles to meet with underage children.
