A 27-year-old man is charged with two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon, two counts of carrying a concealed weapon, and one count each of assault with a weapon and breach of court-imposed conditions. Police said he also had warrants for his arrest.

A 27-year-old man appeared to be in distress and "brandished a knife" at a person passing by when they asked if he was OK, police said.

“When it appeared he was about to jump over the bridge railing, a police officer successfully deployed their conducted energy weapon and the man was safely taken into custody,” police said.

Patrol officers responded to a call around 11:50 p.m. about a man who appeared to be in distress and “brandished a knife” at a person passing by when they asked if he was OK, police said in a media release on Monday.
