Earlier in the day, RCMP issued an alert about a “dangerous” man who had been last seen on foot in Lower Northfield, N.S., a rural community about 80 kilometres southwest of Halifax.

Police told residents to seek shelter or stay inside, and to look out for a suspect who is six feet tall, 175 pounds with green eyes and auburn hair.

With the suspect now arrested, RCMP say their officers will be leaving the Lower Northfield area.
