NORWICH — Police detained and arrested a man on West Main Street Monday morning after a passerby reported seeing him carrying a large knife near Popeyes, according to CT Police Live’s scanner-based account.
The outlet places the response at about 9:20 a.m. November 2, near Popeyes and Dunkin’. It reports that officers located the man on surveillance cameras near Dunham Street and a former Shell station, but that no knife was visible in the camera view.
According to CT Police Live, an officer subsequently encountered the man near Dunkin’ and held him at gunpoint while requesting backup. The outlet says the man was detained and then arrested.
The account does not establish that officers recovered a knife, what charges were filed, or whether anyone was injured. Eastern CT News has not obtained a Norwich Police release confirming the report; the reported arrest should not be read as proof of a crime.
