A 55-year-old man was arrested Sunday afternoon in connection with threatening a Jewel-Osco employee with a pocket knife.

The Evanston man reportedly threatened the employee on Saturday but rode away from the store, at 1128 Chicago Ave., on his bicycle before he could be arrested, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said.

Police spotted the man on Sunday around 1:15 p.m. and arrested him at Burger King, 1740 Orrington Ave., Dugan said.

The man is scheduled to appear in court on May 17.
