Manitoba RCMP have arrested a man after they say he attacked the fuel supply in the community of Ebb and Flow First Nation.
Police were called Monday night for an unknown man hitting large gas tanks with a pickaxe. The tanks were checked and no spillage was detected.
Officers located a 32-year-old man from the community walking on Highway 278 armed with a pickaxe. He was taken into custody and searched, where a razor blade was found in his mouth.
The man is facing weapons and mischief charges. He was released from custody pending a court appearance.
