The Guelph Police Service is looking for a man in connection with two separate incidents.
Police were called to a business on Kortright Road West around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday.
Staff at the business told investigators that a man went into an employees-only area of the store and was asked to leave.
Investigators say the man then picked up a 30-centimetre knife from a counter and held it at his side while making a threat.

They say he later dropped the knife and fled the store after another employee intervened.
Investigators say the same man was at a nearby gas station earlier in the day and tried to pay $90 in fuel using Chinese currency.
