Calgary police have taken a man into custody following a strange incident on Thursday evening in the city’s northwest.
A number of police vehicles responded to the ‘Visions’ outlet on Crowfoot Circle, where they found a man swinging a baseball bat at customers.
Police say he also tried to take a swing at an officer.
No injuries were reported but the suspect jumped a number of fences in the area trying to avoid police.
He was eventually arrested with the help of the canine unit.
So far, no charges have been laid.
A police spokesman says it appears mental health issues may be a factor.
