Man arrested with mask and large knife in downtown Regina

A man has been arrested after allegedly wandering around downtown Regina in a Guy Fawkes mask with a large knife.

Police said it happened early Wednesday morning just after midnight.

Officers were called to Scarth Street near 11th Avenue and found a man riding a bicycle, wearing the Guy Fawkes mask from the “V for Vendetta” movie, and holding a large knife.

Officers stopped the 33-year-old and say they searched him and found two more knives, so he’s being charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

The man was allegedly cut by one of the knives while being searched, so he was taken to hospital for medical attention.
