A man has been arrested and charged, after an incident at a Fort Erie restaurant.

The NRP says the 36-year-old entered the restaurant in the Erie Road and Oakwood Ave area early Sunday morning.

He allegedly threatened staff, and it looked like he was carrying a gun.

No one was hurt when he left the scene.

Police were able to arrest him later, and they found a replica handgun.

The man has been charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats.

He will appear in a St. Catharines courtroom for his bail hearing today.
