Winnipeg man arrested for erratic, aggressive behaviour at Burger King: police

A Winnipeg man was arrested after breaking plexiglass barriers at a Burger King on Osborne Street.

A Winnipeg man has been arrested after behaving “aggressively” and breaking the plexiglass barriers at a fast food restaurant in the city.

The incident took place on Monday evening at a Burger King restaurant in the 200 block of Osborne Street.

According to the Winnipeg Police Service, the suspect approached the counter “aggressively” and demanded food. Police allege he then pulled down the plexiglass barriers, which caused them to shatter.

The restaurant workers retreated to the back office and called police, while the suspect tried to get into the office.

When officers got to the scene, they found the restaurant in “disarray.” Police allege the suspect was behaving erratically, adding that they used a conductive energy weapon when trying to arrest him. He was taken into custody and found to be in possession of bear spray, a pellet gun and approximately 16 grams of cocaine.

Paramedics medically cleared the suspect at the scene.

A 26-year-old man was taken into custody and faces several charges including mischief under $5,000/obstruct enjoyment and two counts of possession of a weapon.
