Man charged after 2 people threatened with knife in Charlottetown
Charlottetown Police say a man who threatened two people with a knife in the city's downtown is now in custody and has been charged with three offences.
On Saturday at about 10:45 a.m., a man and a woman were walking their dogs in the area of Stan MacPherson Way, on the Charlottetown waterfront near the intersection of Water and Hillsborough streets.
According to a police news release, a man they didn't know approached the couple and yelled threats, then pulled out a knife in a threatening way.
The man left the area after the couple backed away and called police, the news release says.
Police surveillance cameras, part of the city's E-Watch program, captured the incident.
Police identified the suspect and found him soon afterward at the intersection of Richmond and Queen streets, where they arrested him and took a knife from him.
The man, 35, was charged with assault with a weapon, uttering threats and possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes.
The accused appeared in provincial court Tuesday and is still in custody.
