A man has been charged with multiple offences for causing a disturbance at a fast-food restaurant in Osborne Village on Monday night.

Officers were sent to the Burger King at 244 Osborne St. at about 8:10 p.m. and were confronted by a man behaving erratically inside the restaurant, which was in disarray, police said Tuesday.

Police used a Taser on the man and found bear spray, a pellet gun and about 16 grams of cocaine on him, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a news release Tuesday.

Paramedics checked the man and medically cleared him.

Police were told the man approached the counter aggressively while demanding food and then pulled down transparent barriers, which shattered on the ground.

Employees went to the back office and called police, and the man tried to get into the room until officers arrived, police said.

No staff members were injured.

The 26-year-old man is charged with mischief under $5,000, possession of cocaine and two counts each of possession of a weapon and failing to comply with a probation order. He was detained in custody.
