Police: Man wanted in connection with knife attack at Cambridge restaurant arrested

The man wanted in connection with a violent knife attack at a Cambridge restaurant earlier this month has been arrested, police said Wednesday.

Joshua Barreau, 23, of Lowell, was arrested in Boston after Cambridge police detectives identified him as the man who stabbed and slashed two people at the Halal Guys in Porter Square on January 4.

Workers told Boston 25 that the suspect began causing a disturbance inside near the register. When employees told the man to leave, a violent struggle spilled outside, where cell phone video captured two workers being slashed with a sharp object.
