At roughly 7:15 p.m., officers were called to the area of Reid Street and Simcoe Street about a disturbance. Officers learned that a man had attempted to get into an ambulance while paramedics were treating a patient. 

No one was injured. The man then fled to a courtyard and started throwing rocks.  Police located him and took him into custody.  During a search after arrest, officers seized a spring-assisted knife with a five-inch blade.

The man was arrested and charged with:

  • Unauthorized Possession of Weapon

  • Possession of Firearm or Ammunition contrary to Prohibition Order

The accused is currently bound by a weapons prohibition to not possess any prohibited firearm, restricted firearm, prohibited weapon, prohibited device or ammunition for life.

The accused was released on an appearance notice and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 20.
