An intoxicated Duryea man pulled a knife on his own mother and punched her in the head because she called the police on him during a domestic dispute, police said.
Alan J. Celusniak, 38, was arrested after the dispute at the family home in the 100 block of Hillcrest Drive on Monday evening.
Police said Celusniak was intoxicated and his elderly mother first called to report having trouble with him around 5:40 p.m.
After officers cleared the scene, Celusniak pulled out a pocket knife and held it up to his mother, threatening to kill her if she ever called the police on him again, police said.
