Vic Pd had their hands full at Fisherman's Wharf Wednesday afternoon.
Police responded after reports that shots were fired in the area.
Out of an abundance of caution, the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team mobilized and used VicPD K9 unit and Crisis Negotiators.
Officers were able to determine what vessel the man was aboard and quickly detained him without incident. There were no injuries.
A search didn't reveal any evidence a gun was fired and the man was released a short time later without charges.
Fisherman's Wharf was shut down for 3 hours last night while officers investigated the reported gunshots.
