Police in London, England have charged a man who allegedly posted an online threat against Wilfrid Laurier University.

The man was arrested in London on Friday, and the charge laid Saturday.

The 22-year-old man, identified by police as Daniel Ransem, will appear in court Monday.

He faces a charge of malicious communications.

The U.K.'s Malicious Communications Act makes it illegal for anyone to send a threat with the intent to cause distress or anxiety.

The man's connection to Wilfrid Laurier, if one exists, is unknown.
