The man stated that he had a verbal dispute with a woman before she called another man to the area, police said.
A man, who was identified as Elijah Webber, 22, of Morrisville, arrived at the park with a “large kitchen knife” that he used to puncture two tires on a vehicle, police said.

“You’re not going anywhere,” Webber reportedly said.
After damaging the tires, Webber, who was wielding the knife, chased the man around the car while threatening him, police said.
After Webber’s family members arrived, they disarmed him and Webber and the other man got into a physical fight, police said.

Webber was arrested two days after the incident and charged. He was preliminarily arraigned before District Judge John Galloway and held on 10 percent of $250,000.
Webber had his preliminary hearing in the case last week and had charges of simple assault, terroristic threats, criminal mischief, and harassment held for trial. A charge of aggravated assault was dropped.
