Shortly afterwards, police were called to a similar disturbance on Talbot Street North that had escalated into a physical fight involving an “edged weapon.”

Again, no injuries were reported.

Police found and arrested a 40-year-old Norfolk County man without incident.

He was charged with two counts of carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, assault with a weapon and causing a disturbance.

The man has been held for a bail hearing.
