Shortly before 9 a.m., officers responded to a complaint about a possible encampment in the area of Central Avenue and Fulton Street.

They contacted a known person at a camp there, and he allegedly began wielding a large knife. He didn't comply with officers' orders to drop the knife and they tried to negotiate with him, police said.
