A Hamilton, Ont., man is facing multiple charges after allegedly pointing a firearm at another person in the east end.
Police say they responded to a call about an individual with a firearm around 7 p.m. Saturday in the area of Centennial Parkway and Neil Avenue.
“A citizen was walking his dog in the area, when a male exited a residence, began yelling and pointed a firearm at the victim,” police spokesperson Indy Bharaj said in an email.
A foot pursuit between officers and the suspect would end around 8 p.m. in a business at a plaza on Queenston Road at Centennial, according to Bharaj.
A loaded 9mm Smith and Wesson handgun would be seized in the arrest.
The 21-year-old accused is facing 11 charges, including unauthorized possession of a handgun, pointing a firearm, and assault with a weapon.
