A Regina man in custody is facing a total of 11 charges including assault and weapons charges.
Regina police say officers were sent just before 9 p.m. on Monday to the 1600 block of Ottawa Street just south of South Railway Street for a report of a weapons call involving a knife.
Police learned that a man with a knife confronted another man.
The report states that officers soon spotted a man matching the suspect description fleeing on a bicycle.
One of the officers was on foot and tackled the suspect off the bicycle, knocking him to the ground, police said. After a brief struggle, the suspect was apprehended and taken to hospital following the take down.
Police discovered he was in possession of a sawed-off .22 calibre rifle, ammunition, other knives and tools used to break and enter.
