CAMBRIDGE, Ont. — Waterloo Regional Police have arrested a man they allege threatened Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau while on the campaign trail in southern Ontario.

Police say the allegations stem from a campaign stop in Cambridge, Ont. on Aug. 29.

It was one of many events in Ontario at which Trudeau was dogged by protesters, people sounded sirens and chanted expletives amid a visible police presence.

Police say they launched an investigation after viewing video of the event, speaking to witnesses and receiving information from the RCMP.

Police say they have arrested a 32-year-old man from Kitchener, Ont., and charged him with two counts of uttering threats. They did not release his name.
