They say the officers saw one man in possession of a hammer, and got involved when they say it appeared he was reaching for it.
Police say they arrested the man using a high-risk takedown.
They say officers seized a hammer, a hatchet and quantities of suspected fentanyl and cannabis.
The male is facing several charges, including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a concealed weapon, possession of a controlled substance and possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution.
