Police have arrested a 53-year-old man in an apparent G20 threat in Toronto.

The man was driving a vehicle containing gas cans, a chain saw, a baseball bat and a cross-bow with the arrow in it.

A homemade aluminum container was fastened to top of the vehicle with a bungee cord.

Toronto police now report they do not believe the man’s actions are G20 related.
