Police officers were dispatched to 61 Union Square last Saturday of a report of a drunken man urinating in public.

Two witnesses, a man and a woman, approached the officers as they arrived and reported that they had witnessed the man urinating in public and asked him to stop, at which time the man wiped his hands on the male witness.

The witness pushed the suspect away, then the man pulled out a multi-tool pocket knife and threatened the witness, according to witness testimony.

The officers approached the suspect, who reportedly appeared to be intoxicated and unsteady on his feet, and ordered him to remove his hand from his pocket, police said.

Failing to comply, officers restrained the man and removed the knife from his pocket.

Juan Dileon-Carpio, 51, was then placed under arrest and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and indecent exposure.
