A 26-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Saturday morning after threatening people outside Burrito King, 900 Illinois St.

According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Ted Bordman, the incident began when the suspect and another man in the area became involved in an altercation. The two had exchanged words when the suspect produced a small knife and threatened the man and two of his friends. The man was able to push the suspect away.

Bordman said the suspect was the one who eventually called police to report the incident.

He was booked into the Douglas County Jail about 4:20 a.m. on charges of aggravated assault and criminal threat.
