A 30 year-old Kelowna man was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon after a report of an individual in the downtown core armed with a sword acting in an erratic manner.
With concern for the public, officers flooded the area on Ellis Street and arrested the suspect.
During a search, police located and seized three knives and a large sword.
His mental health was assessed by the Kelowna RCMP Police and Crisis Team and was eventually released.
He will make a court appearance at a later date.
