A Kelowna man was arrested earlier this week following a weapons complaint involving a knife.

According to Kelowna RCMP, the unnamed 29-year-old was arrested on Tuesday around 6 p.m., following a complaint of a man acting aggressively in a parking lot along the 2200 block of Baron Road.

Police say officers flooded the area, with the suspect being arrested without incident.
