NEW BEDFORD A New Bedford man armed with a knife has been arrested and charged following an alleged altercation Monday night in the city’s North End. On May 10 at around 8 p.m., officers responded to the area of Acushnet Avenue and Collette Street for a report of a male with a knife. Police say bystanders directed officers to the suspect, who approached the police cruiser and used his knife to strike its window several times. “He ignored numerous commands to drop his weapon and became increasingly agitated as officers arrived on scene,” police said in a release. “Ultimately, responding officers successfully de-escalated the situation and the suspect returned to the sidewalk, dropped the knife, and placed his hands behind his back. He was then taken into custody.”

Massachusetts State Police say that just after 3:30 p.m. on April 28, a trooper was observing traffic on I-195 in Dartmouth. They say the trooper’s attention was drawn to a white Toyota sedan “with window tint so dark that the trooper could not see into the vehicle, despite the daylight hour.” The trooper got behind the vehicle and ran a check of the registration, which state police say revealed that the registered owner had a suspended driver’s license. The trooper pulled the vehicle over and confirmed with the driver and sole occupant, Edwin Polanco, 27, of New Bedford that his license was in fact suspended.
