Police in Vancouver say a 54-year-old man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly chased a group of teenagers with a knife.
They say a 16-year-old boy called 9-1-1 to report he and his friends were being threatened by an armed stranger.
Sergeant Steve Addison says officers located the suspect near Kitsilano’s Seaforth Peace Park this weekend and deployed a bean bag gun during the arrest -- though he said it was necessary as multiple people were nearby and public safety was at risk.
Police say the man has been charged with assault with a weapon, assaulting a police officer and possession of a weapon.
