Winnipeg police arrested a man who was reported to be bashing windows of a Point Douglas shelter with a machete Tuesday night.
Officers believe the 26-year-old suspect’s violent behaviour resulted from him being denied entry based on a history of poor conduct.
Police said after the man was told he wasn’t allowed inside, he punched a security guard.
He then drew his machete and started swinging, hitting the protective glass near a staff office, police say.
