However, the Mounties immediately made their way out to the home, finding the suspect standing outside.
Police say he was told to show his hands, but ignored their instructions, and pulled out a large kitchen knife.
A Conducted Energy Weapon was used to restrain him, causing the suspect to drop the weapon. He was arrested without further incident.
The pre-teen victim did not need medical attention.
