A 37-year-old man has been arrested, after a reported mugging in Hamilton.
Shortly after 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Hamilton police say a man was walking in the area of Wentworth and Cannon Streets, where he was approached by a man who demanded his money.
Police say the victim refused, so the suspect produced what appeared to be a handgun and made a second demand.
