A Taser that was stolen from Winnipeg police earlier this month was shot at people outside a Winnipeg nightclub early Saturday morning.

Winnipeg police say a 19-year-old man armed with the Taser began confronting a crowd at a bar in the Exchange District at around 2 a.m. Saturday.

The man fired the Taser and people in the crowd ran away, police said Sunday.

The incident happened outside District Stop on Bannatyne Avenue — the same area the Taser was stolen from on Sept. 3.

District Stop manager Casey Lourens said it happened in a parking lot across the street from the club and no staff were involved in the incident.

Police said nobody was hurt. The suspect fled in a vehicle to a suite in the Mayfair Place apartment complex in Fort Rouge, where he was later arrested.

The man faces a number of charges including assault with a weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, theft under $5,000, possession of a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle, and possession of a firearm.
