Police say a man threatened to stab somebody Monday afternoon in North Battleford.

Battlefords RCMP said the man allegedly asked to use the victim’s phone and when the victim refused, the suspect threatened to stab them. The victim fled the scene in the area of 19th Ave. and Territorial Dr. and was not pursued or harmed at all, according to an RCMP news release. Police responded to the call at roughly 3:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 29.

The suspect is described as First Nations and in his 20s and at the time was wearing a white shirt, black pants and white bandana.

This was one of more than 50 calls for service to the RCMP in a 24-hour period ending at 6 a.m. Aug. 30.

Unrelated to the threat, a man linked to a break-in on Sunday, Aug. 28 was arrested the next day after a report of an attempted break-in on 108th St. The 21-year-old man was arrested near the scene Monday afternoon and charges are pending.
