UTICA — A man holding a child threatened his former girlfriend with a knife, according to Utica Police.

Around midnight Sunday, police responded to a residence on Whitesboro Street for a domestic incident where a woman told them her ex-boyfriend and father of her child, Toby Gaston, 29, of Lenox Avenue, showed up at her residence very late.

Police said Gaston demanded to see their child. Police said she refused because it was late and the child was sleeping.

Police said Gaston pushed his way into the apartment and picked up the child. While he was holding the child, the two began to argue, and during the argument, Gaston threatened her with a knife, police said.

When officers arrived, Gaston was gone. Later Monday morning, the man was located and charged with menacing, endangering the welfare of a child, criminal trespass, all misdemeanors; and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.
