Members of the Community Response Unit (bicycle patrol officers) were called to Rainbow Centre after reports of a man with a small base ball bat in hand chasing other unknown males through the mall July 14 around 7:15 p.m.

Police, with the assistance of mall security, were able to arrest the man. He has been charged with possession of a weapon for dangerous use and possession of a controlled substance.

He is being held for a bail hearing today (July 15).

Maybe if it were someone in our judical system being chased with a bat, robbed, assaulted, etc. they might do something about these criminals the police are rounding up and trying to make our streets safe. With 2 for 1 time he should be back on the streets by Thursday.

Another great response by our men and women in blue! Any bets that the judge gives him bail... probably wasn't his fault... someone else must be to blabe. Can't wait to see what our justice system does with this maniac.
