The man didn’t know the family of the child, EPS said, adding he was “agitated and made demands of the staff.”
“It was reported that the man grabbed the child and threatened it with a sharp object,” police said.
The 27-year-old was later charged with assault with a weapon, uttering threats and hostage-taking.
He remained in custody on Monday and did not speak to bail.
