On September 6, 2020 at 3:10p.m., a patrol officer attempted to speak with a male riding a bicycle on the sidewalk at 8th St E and Circle Dr. E.

The male refused to stop for the officer and was followed to the intersection of Clark Crescent and Stephenson Crescent. It was at this time the male pulled out a handgun and pointed it several times at the officer before throwing it on the ground. The male then continued on his bicycle before coming to a stop in the 100blk Clark Crescent. The male then reached into his sweater as if he was retrieving a weapon. He was taken into custody without further incident.

A 30 year old man is in custody facing charges of assault police officer, obstruction, numerous weapons and firearms charges, and a bicycle bylaw ticket. He will be held in custody and brought before a Justice of the Peace on September 7th.

The firearm was recovered and found to be a CO2 airsoft pistol.
