A dramatic takedown by Waterloo Regional Police was captured on camera, in the area of Traynor Avenue and Wilson Avenue on Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Police believed a man was in possession of a firearm so a high-risk arrest was initiated, they said, to ensure public and officer safety.
The video, posted on Reddit, appears to show a person on some sort of an e-bike travelling down the road before being taken down by police.
Police said their Drugs and Firearms Unit and Emergency Response Team made the arrest.
The 30-year-old man was carrying a replica firearm, controlled substances and cash, police said.
He’s been charged with five counts of breaching a court order, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and multiple weapon-related charges.
“The charges in the case are based on a lengthy investigation into the trafficking of illicit drugs in our community,” WRPS said in a news release.
