    Off My Meds Man with machete-arms arrested following police confrontation

    CTV Winnipeg




    The Winnipeg Police Service arrested a 34-year-old Winnipeg man they said had large machetes taped to both of his hands in the Robertson neighbourhood Friday.

    Officers believe the man was coming down from a meth high at the time and allege he hatched a plan to attack in an effort to get shot by police.

    Police said he called them himself at around 7:10 a.m., to report a man armed with a machete.

    When officers arrived, the man tried to come towards them, but they retreated to keep a safe distance. They said the man kept trying to go towards officers and yelled at them to shoot him.

    Police used a less-lethal weapon to handle and take them man into custody without harming him.

    The man is facing charges of possession of a weapon and failing to comply with probation.

    He was detained in custody.
