A South Berwick man was arrested on Tuesday following an hours-long manhunt after he allegedly threatened a family member with a knife before fleeing into the woods.
At approximately 10:30 a.m., the South Berwick Police Department responded to reports of a domestic disturbance at 20 Warren Pond Road.
The caller reported that an adult man had threatened a family member with a knife.
Officers arrived to discover that the suspect had fled into a nearby hunting cabin in the woods.
They attempted to make contact with the suspect and convince him to leave the woods, but he refused.
