The Primrose police recently arrested a 78-year-old man after he threatened another man with a firearm.<\/p>\n

The incident was reported to police by the victim.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

He explained that he and a friend were walking down Churchill Avenue, talking, when they were approached by the elderly gentleman, who told them to keep quiet, as they were making a noise.<\/p>\n

The victim replied that they were not making a noise, they were only talking.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It was then that the elderly man produced a firearm and pointed it at the victim and his friend.<\/p>\n

“The police are, again, appealing to the community not to take the law into their own hands.<\/p>\n

“Instead of threatening the two men, the accused should have called the police to handle the situation,” said Const Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
