Waterloo Regional Police say they found multiple weapons, including a handheld flamethrower, on a man who was threatening people outside a Waterloo restaurant. Officers were called to the unnamed business, at King Street North and University Avenue West, around 5:45 p.m. on Oct. 28. “The investigation determined that a male was yelling racial slurs at passersby outside a restaurant and uttered threats to kill an individual as they left the business,” a media release said. The man, a 29-year-old from Waterloo, was arrested a short time later. Police said he had several weapons, including a handheld flamethrower in a backpack, a machete concealed beneath clothing, three throwing knives and body armour. The 29-year-old man was charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and carrying a concealed weapon.
