A Winnipeg man is in custody after two construction workers were attacked on a Portage Avenue job site Tuesday afternoon, police say.
The suspect, 43, is accused of pulling a knife on the workers, who fled into a nearby building. No one was hurt in the incident, police said, although one of the workers’ jackets was damaged by a slash from the knife.
Officers tracked the suspect down 20 minutes later on Balmoral Street, where he was arrested and a knife was seized.
He faces two counts of assault with a weapon, as well as charges for weapon possession and breach of recognizance.
