When RNC located the individual, he attempted to avoid apprehension and a foot chase ensued.
The suspect then confronted the officer in pursuit with what appeared to be a hypodermic needle, which was later determined to be an epinephrine autoinjector.
The officer was able to subdue the suspect by pointing a taser and warning the suspect of its impending use.
He was held in custody, to appear at Provincial Court in this morning.
