SURREY — A police incident at Surrey City Hall around lunchtime Wednesday ended with a man being arrested.
Surrey RCMP say a “distraught” man with an “edged” weapon was detained after a call to police came in around noon.
A video obtained by the Now-Leader shows police with what appear to be rifles in the parkade of the building.
At one point, a woman is seen rushing two young children past armed officers.
