Nanaimo R-C-M-P say a man has been arrested after allegedly committing a series of crimes over the long weekend including stealing and crashing a car.
Police say they received calls yesterday afternoon of the suspect wielding a machete and breaking windows while assaulting people in the 21-hundred block of Duggan Road.
Police say the man then stole a vehicle and drove erratically according to calls from the public before the suspect crashed and fled from the car.
Mounties say they pursued the suspect on foot and arrested him 30 minutes afterwards, and the man is being held in police custody.
