MAN WITH KNIFE IN BEDFORD PLACE MALL

On Thursday night, just after 5 p.m., a patron (adult male) at a retail outlet in Bedford Place Mall was walking down an isle in the store, and as he passed another man (unknown to him) in the aisle, the man waved a knife at him and muttered something he could not understand.

The patron, feeling threatened and alarmed by the incident, alerted mall security upon leaving the store and police were in turn contacted. A 32-year-old man, still in the store, was arrested without incident by responding officers. A knife was recovered and the Sackville man is scheduled to appear in court today charged with assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon, and breaching a recognizance.
