A man was arrested Friday after allegedly taking a hatchet onto a city bus.
Police said a fellow passenger saw a man with the hatchet and contacted authorities. The man was arrested when he got off the bus at Pioneer Avenue and Main Street at about 12:15 p.m.
The bus driver had confiscated the hatchet and gave it to police.
The man didn’t threaten anyone on the bus with the hatchet but threatened to kill police officers while in custody, the Winnipeg Police Service said Saturday.
A 36-year-old Winnipeg man is facing charges of possession of a weapon, uttering threats, failing to comply with a probation order and failing to comply with conditions of release order.
He was detained in custody.
