The Sunday Express earlier reported officers pointed their guns and ordered him to "put your hands up and get on the ground" after mistaking him for an intruder.

So that's the official challenge now is it?
Whenever I've done guard duties and challenged anyone it's been received well, but I've known of some commissioned officers (usually quite new) challenged by others who've then complained about it. Luckily it doesn't usually take much to make them see the error of their ways, and if needed then (all) the station commander(s) is(are) always on the side of the guards as long as all procedure is correct - I doubt he'd agree to a challenge of 'put your hands up and get on the ground!'.
