Sarnia man found with kitchen knives at park

A 38-year-old Sarnia man is facing weapons related charges after allegedly threatening to kill someone with kitchen knives near a weekend event Friday night.

Police were called to Centennial Park at around 11:20 p.m.

Officers said a man, who was reportedly screaming obscenities, pulled out two kitchen knives and swung them at trees while people were in the immediate area.

He then allegedly threatened to kill a person with the knives.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

He was arrested and charged with one count of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, assault with a weapon, and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.

The accused has since been released from police custody.
