A 38-year-old man is behind bars after being caught at a Cornerstone business with a knife and an improvised gun.

Prince Albert Police were called to a business in the 800 Block of 15th Street East at about 6:20 p.m. Wednesday for a report of a physical altercation.

When they got there, the suspect was in the custody of security personnel and was arrested moments later.
