An Ithaca man was arrested Sunday night for allegedly threatening two people with a knife.
When police arrived on the scene in the 500 block of West State Street, they located a man matching the description of the suspect. When officers approached 46-year-old Elijah Pratt, he fled and was observed throwing a knife. Pratt was taken into custody less than a block away and was charged with felony tampering with physical evidence and misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon.
After his arraignment, Pratt was sent to Tompkins County Jail without bail with more charges expected.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
