Richmond RCMP say an investigation is ongoing after a man allegedly threatened Canada Line commuters with a weapon.
On Dec. 1, Richmond RCMP responded to multiple reports of a man allegedly carrying a knife in the 5400-block No. 3 Road, at the Lansdowne Canada Line station.
The man reportedly left the train station and fell down an escalator where he dropped what appeared to be a firearm. Police said the firearm was later determined to be an airsoft pistol.
RCMP added that witnesses also reported that the man was chasing after a woman.
Officers chased after the man in a "brief pursuit," and he was taken into custody without incident. He was arrested for alleged assault with a weapon. Charges have not been approved.
The weapon was seized.
Police said there were no injuries reported by witnesses or officers.
