Man threatens people with knife in grocery parking lot


A man in a grocery store parking lot on Highway 280 is reported to be threatening people with a knife and screaming. Witnesses describe him as a black male wearing a black tank top and black pants, currently on foot in the middle of the parking lot. There is conflicting information: some witnesses say he only has a knife but did not threaten anyone, while others report that he threatened people and said he was 'psycho' and 'doesn't care about the government.' The knife is reportedly strapped to the back of his pants.
