Winnipeg police allege a 32-year-old man was intoxicated when he allegedly pulled a knife on a security guard at a hotel near the airport early Wednesday morning.
The Winnipeg Police Service says it happened around 1:20 a.m. at a hotel on Ellice Avenue and Berry Street.
Police allege the man was intoxicated when he was asked by a 25-year-old security guard to leave the lobby of the hotel, where he was not a guest.
WPS says the suspect then pulled out a knife and struck the guard several times with it in the upper body. He was allegedly uttering death threats at the same time.
Police say the security guard disarmed the man, who then fled. He was arrested by police in the hotel parking lot.
The security guard was not injured, police add.
Cody Harper has been charged with assault with a weapon, uttering threats, and other offences. He was detained by police. The allegations against him have not been tested in court.
