Mounties investigate after man flashes knife at youth in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

TUMBLER RIDGE — Mounties in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., say a man is in custody after flashing a knife at youth over the weekend.

They say the incident happened late Saturday evening in the small town, which gained international attention earlier this year after a mass shooter killed eight victims, including six children, before turning the weapon on herself.

Police say officers responded to the knife report at the 100-block of Kinuseo Avenue and apprehended the man under the Mental Health Act.

They say he was brought to a hospital by officers but was released Monday and brought back to Tumbler Ridge, where he will remain in custody until he attends court.
