Machete-Wielding Man Arrested at Santa Fe Depot

A man wielding a machete was arrested at a San Diego trolley station Friday.

The San Diego Sheriff's Department said they arrested the man after an altercation between he and the conductor of a train at Santa Fe Depot near Downtown San Diego. The conductor apparently told him he could not board a train with the weapon, authorities said.

The man had been asked to leave by deputies, but he put up a fight and was ultimately arrested.

Authorities said the San Diego Police Department had received reports that the man was threatening people with the machete and they called in sheriff's deputies.
