Scott is wanted on a warrant for assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and possession of a dangerous weapon.
He is described as an Indigenous man, around 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build and long, black curly hair in a ponytail.
He was last seen wearing a grey shirt and beige pants or shorts.
Major was arrested on Tuesday in the 800 block of Ouellette Avenue. He is facing charges for assault with a weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon.
Nearby residents and businesses are asked to check dashcam and security footage between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. for related evidence.
