Paterson Police officers arrested an armed man following a foot chase in a section of the city Tuesday night. 

Police received reports of a man armed with a gun in the area of Holsman and East main streets around 7:40 p.m. 

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a suspect fitting the perpetrator's description and initiated the investigation by attempting to question the suspect.
