A scary situation involving a man with a sword charging at people on the north side.
Police say it happened just after 3 am on Sunday on the 700 block of Moore Avenue in the John Street Road area.
They report officers caught up with their suspect around Belrose Road after he sped off from the scene in a pick-up truck.
He surrendered peacefully to police.
A sword was seized from the vehicle.
Police have charged 38-year-old Jason Andrew Prokopchuk with impaired driving and assault with a weapon.

Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
