Police were called to what they thought was the scene of a fight. Instead, they found a store employee holding a man on the floor. The man being restrained was wearing only a shirt and shoes. Nearby was a samurai sword.

WCCO reports witnesses saying the man seemed "somewhat disgruntled" and threatened a man's life before being overpowered and held by the employee.
