Guelph police are investigating after a male armed with a knife lunged at the doorman of a Guelph business.

Approximately 9:30 p.m. Sunday police were called to a business on Silvercreek Parkway South. A man had twice attended the business but was denied entry as he did not have any identification. He returned a third time, pulling out a knife and lunging at the staff member, who was able to move out of the way and was not physically injured.

The suspect fled on foot and was last seen running eastbound on Waterloo Avenue. He was described as a black male, 5’7” with a thin build and wearing a light-coloured windbreaker with dark shoulders, dark pants, a black baseball cap and a medical mask. While checking the area officers recovered a black knife with duct tape around the handle.
