FREMONT (BCN) – Police arrested a man suspected of wielding a machete or large knife during a fight Sunday morning in front of a Fremont business.

A 911 caller told police about 11:50 a.m. that two people were fighting in the 4900 block of Stevenson Boulevard and that one of them had a sword and possibly another weapon.

When officers arrived, they ordered the suspect to surrender and he was taken into custody. The 33-year-old man, believed to be homeless, allegedly had a machete, a knife, and a loaded handgun that had been reported stolen from a home burglary, Fremont police said.

He was arrested on suspicion of various weapons crimes and booked into Santa Rita Jail, police said.
