On Thursday evening RNC officers on patrol in the west end of St. John’s observed a known wanted male walking on a street.
When the suspect saw police, he attempted to flee the area but was apprehended after a short foot pursuit.
The 50-year-old male was arrested under two warrants and faces additional charges of Breach of Release Order, Breach of Probation and Public Mischief.
The man will appear in court this morning.
