Anti-gang police in Meknes arrested a 20-year-old man with a criminal record on Wednesday evening for allegedly assaulting and threatening a person with a bladed weapon in a manner that endangered public safety, authorities said.

The arrest followed a complaint filed by a victim who accused the suspect of physically assaulting and threatening him with a knife. The incident, which was caught on video, spread widely across social media platforms, prompting swift police action.

Investigators quickly identified and located the suspect, detaining him later that same day. He was placed in custody for questioning under the supervision of the public prosecutor’s office.

Authorities said the ongoing investigation aims to uncover the full circumstances surrounding the case and determine whether the suspect was involved in additional criminal activities.
