An 18-year-old London man has been charged after a security guard was threatened with a knife at an east-end business.
According to London police, a man walked into the unnamed business in the area of Clarke Road and Dundas Street East around 2:20 p.m. on Wednesday. When he was approached by a security officer, the man allegedly pulled out a knife and made threats. He then took off from the store on foot.
A description of the man was given to police, who arrested a suspect a short distance away.
A knife was seized by officers and no injuries were reported, police said.
A London man has since been charged with possession of a weapon. He was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
