A Kitchener man has been arrested after allegedly assaulting three people while armed with a weapon.

Reports of the assault brought police officers to an apartment building on Cedarwoods Crescent, off of Kingsway Drive, around 3 a.m. Friday.

One of the three people ended up being taken to hospital. Waterloo Regional Police say that person received minor injuries.

The police investigation also extended to the intersection of King Street and Pandora Avenue, where a command post was set up.

Nelson Carapanta arrived near that intersection Friday morning for work. He described the situation at that time as “pure chaos.”

“The place was covered in police,” he said.

Several police officers were seen on a property on King near Pandora.

Police had asked the public for help locating a 25-year-old Kitchener man in connection with the assaults.

Late Friday, morning, they said that the man had been found and taken to get medical treatment for minor injuries.

They also said that one man had been arrested without incident, although they would not confirm if that man was the 25-year-old in question.

Additionally, police said that they were looking for a crowbar or similar item believed to have been used in the attack.
