Note: this occured in Toronto, Ontario

Police had to get creative in arresting a man armed with two knives at a downtown intersection during the Tuesday morning rush hour.

It started at approximately 7am – officers from 51 Division tried to calm the man while staying out of stabbing range, but he would not be subdued.

At least four cops surrounded the suspect, and made two attempts to arrest him. Eventually he was stopped more forcefully, as a slow-moving cop car managed to pin him between the front bumper and a bike stand. Officers also used pepper spray in the standoff.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, is now in custody. He suffered a broken wrist and is now undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. The motive for the incident isn’t clear.
