Just after 2 p.m. police were called to a business on Woolwich Street near Speedvale Avenue West. A male reported he and another male were on scene to do some work at the business when someone approached their vehicle and began pointing a laser pointer at them. The males exited the vehicle to confront the unknown man, who pulled out a knife and pointed it at them while uttering threats.
Officers arrived a short time later and located the person in the area. Investigation revealed he is bound by bail conditions including a term banning him from possessing weapons.
