Campbell River RCMP responded in numbers to a significant mental health crisis in the 300 block of Crawford Road early Sunday night.

Police were initially advised of a 30 year old male whose behaviour had turned dangerous and threatening at approximately 6pm.

Officers, along with those in the Special Victims Unit, and Police Dog Services from Courtenay arrived and closed off a small area.

Police say the man cooperated when police arrived, was taken into custody and then hospital without incident.

"The Campbell River RCMP are very thankful that this incident concluded peacefully. We are also very appreciative for the cooperation of everyone in the area during the heightened police presence", said Constable Maury Tyre.
