A man allegedly confronted people with a knife at a North Battleford residence Tuesday before fleeing.

Battlefords RCMP received a report of an altercation at a residence on 100th St. at roughly 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 29, according to a news release.

Complainants said the man confronted them with a knife, then fled without incident. The suspect is described as tall and wearing a grey hoodie. He is believed to have been intoxicated during the incident.

There were also several break-and-enter incidents to residences and businesses on Tuesday.

At roughly 8:30 a.m. RCMP responded to an activated alarm at a business on Territorial Dr. Police said it appeared a suspect had attempted to gain entry to the business via a rear door, which activated the alarm. The suspect fled, leaving damage to the door handle.
