Earlier Monday afternoon, police in Kingston, Ont., responded to a report of a male entering a building on Montreal Street who refused to wear a mask in keeping with public safety orders and became belligerent with a security guard.
They say 21-year-old Shane Smith from Kingston became confrontational with the guard before pulling a large knife from his pants-pocket and threatening to stab the security guard.
Smith proceeded to smash a hole in the wall near the entrance with his head, and pulled a fire alarm before leaving the building.
