Man caught with weapons outside Royal University Hospital

A man is in custody after getting caught with weapons outside Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital early Sunday morning.

Police say hospital security noticed the man outside the staff break area with a knife around 2 a.m.

When officers arrived, they searched the 24-year-old’s backpack and also found a sawed off rifle and bolt cutters.

The man is now facing a number of gun- and weapons-related charges.

He will appear before a Justice of the Peace Sunday evening.

This incident comes exactly a week after a nurse was robbed outside St. Paul’s Hospital.
