A woman ran from her home in Guelph coming downstairs to discover a man had tried to barricade the door and was in her living room holding a knife, police say.
Police in Guelph say the woman was in her home near College Avenue E. and Gordon Street.
Just after 2:30 p.m., she went down the stairs and she found a chair blocking her front door.
“The resident then saw an adult male standing in the corner of her living room holding a knife. The resident quickly ran out the back door,” police said.
Officers arrived and arrested a man after a brief foot chase.
Police say the man had two knives, two identity documents not belonging to him and “various pieces of stolen property.”
A 20-year-old from Burlington has been charged with possession of identification documents, break, enter and commit and two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon for a dangerous purpose.
