A 30-year-old Saskatoon man is facing multiple charges that include carrying a concealed weapon and pointing a firearm.

The suspect fled the scene on foot but was located by officers shortly after in the 600 block of 3rd Avenue North.

An investigation confirmed the firearm to be a replica pellet pistol.

No one was injured during the incident.
