A 29-year-old man faces a dangerous weapons charge after police say they saw him with a "large Samurai sword" outside of a 7-Eleven.

Police were called just before 4 a.m. on Saturday about a man with a sword standing outside the store on Main Street East near Ottawa Street, reportedly appearing to be "making threats about harming someone."

Police arrested the man without any trouble or injuries and seized the sword. Hamilton police said the blade of the sword was 35 cm in length.
