A spokesperson said nobody was physically injured in the incident and the man had fled the scene.
He was later found at an address in Youngtown and taken into custody without incident.
The 27-year-old Launceston man has since been charged with being unlawfully armed in public and common assault.
He is scheduled to appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court today.
