Hey there, time traveller!

A 20-year-old man is facing charges after he allegedly went on a rampage in the south Pembina Highway area Friday morning.
Police were sent to a fast-food restaurant on the 2800 block of Pembina at about 6:10 a.m. after being told a man was causing a disturbance. Officers found a 20-year-old man inside and arrested him.
Police determined the suspect began destroying property and threatening to kill employees while “in an agitated state.” At one point, he threw a garbage receptacle towards a 65-year-old employee, striking her in the lower body, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a news release Friday. She suffered a minor injury and did not require medical attention, police said.
The property damage was estimated at more than $10,000.
“During his arrest, the suspect provided several false names to investigators and refused to provide his true identity,” the WPS said.
Police linked the man to three incidents earlier that morning.
A man damaged a parked 2015 Chrysler Town & Country on the 100 block of Allegheny Drive at 5:37 a.m. and shattered a front window at a business on the 2800 block of Pembina at 5:49 a.m. The window damage is estimated at more than $5,000.
A man also damaged a parked 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage in a parking lot on Pembina’s 2700 block a moment later.
A Winnipeg man is facing charges of assault with a weapon, obstructing a peace officer, mischief over $5,000 and two counts each of mischief under $5,000 and uttering threats. He was released on an undertaking.
