A Pictou County man is charged with weapons offences after waving a machete outside a fast-food restaurant.
New Glasgow Regional Police were called to the Tim Hortons Wendys on Westville Road shortly after midnight on Saturday.

He smashed a door and got in but took off.
No one was injured.
Officers arrested the man nearby and took him into custody.
The 42-year-old male was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Provincial Court in Pictou on Monday.
New Glasgow Regional Police continue to investigate.
