Saskatoon police are applauding the efforts of a neighbour whose tip-off led to an arrest.

Officers responded and were able to confront a man matching the description.
Police said the suspect did not obey instructions initially, and squared off with an officer.
The man was allegedly holding a knife in one hand and a pair of pliers in the other.
Police used a Taser, but it missed the mark. The suspect was apprehended by another officer on scene.
No one was injured.
