Man threatens police officers in Eisenberg with a push dagger
A 55-year-old man allegedly threatened police officers in Eisenberg with a push dagger.

Nearly an hour later, police said he caused a disturbance at a nearby cash machine. When officers spoke to him, he allegedly drew the knife. He dropped it after pepper spray was used and officers threatened to use a firearm. The man was taken into custody, medically examined and then brought to a specialist hospital.
