A Guelph man has been arrested after staff of a west end business were threatened by a knife-wielding man last Sunday.
Just before 6 p.m., a male entered a business near Silvercreek Parkway North and Willow Road while holding a knife and repeatedly yelling that he had a knife. A staff member intervened and tried to get the man out of the store while protecting customers. The male threatened to stab the employee before eventually leaving the store.
Investigation led to the identity of the involved male, who was arrested Wednesday morning.
A 38-year-old Guelph man is charged with assault with a weapon, carrying a weapon for a dangerous purpose, breaching a probation order and breaching a release order. He was held for a bail hearing.
