Calgary police have located a man wanted on multiple warrants with some relating to “random attacks on strangers” in downtown Calgary.
In a news release sent out Thursday morning, police said they were attempting to find 37-year-old Cashe Tyler Erskine who’s wanted on 14 outstanding warrants.
On Thursday afternoon, the CPS said the man was located and taken into custody.
Police said between May and October 2022, investigators believe a number of people were approached by a man whose behaviour is “erratic and engages in a verbal argument before striking the victims with an object in his hand.” They said Erskine was known to frequent Tomkins Park on 17 Avenue S.W.
Erskine, who also goes by the name of Cashew, is described as being roughly five-foot-ten-inches tall with black hair and green eyes.
Police said he was wanted for assault, assault with a weapon, causing a disturbance, mischief, theft under $5,000 and failure to attend.
