A 30-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly threatening to hurt himself with a knife in Saskatoon.
On Tuesday afternoon, a patrol officer saw a man wanted by police riding a bike on the 3300 block of Fairlight Drive. When the man refused to stop, police chased him to a nearby pedestrian tunnel near Circle Drive.
When the man stopped, he took out a knife and said he would harm himself.
Officers then used a Taser on the man and arrested him.
The man was taken to hospital as a precaution.
As with all incidents where Saskatoon police use a Taser, the incident will be reviewed.
