Police say they arrested a man on Thursday morning after he pulled out a knife while officers were investigating a vehicle complaint.
Medicine Hat police officers were called to the 1000 Block of Balmoral Street at about 6 a.m. on a report that a 20-year-old man had taken a vehicle without the consent of its owner. They found the suspect on the next block and, police allege, when they approached the man brandished the weapon.
He complied with a command to drop the knife, was taken into custody and faces charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats and taking a motor vehicle without consent. Charges have not been laid and the suspect is not named in a police release.
