"He was arrested without incident and transported to police headquarters where he remained overnight," police said.
Charges include aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and having a dangerous weapon.
He is scheduled to appear in bail court Thursday.

A 22-year-old man turned himself in to police Tuesday afternoon following an attack on the weekend.
The suspect in that case is accused of bear spraying and stabbing a victim at the intersection of Elm Street and Elgin Street.
On Wednesday, a 40-year-old Sudbury man was arrested after a stabbing in the Richard Lake area in the South End of the city Tuesday night.
