WCVB-TV reports Foxborough police say officials at the NHL's annual Winter Classic game on Friday at Gillette Stadium received a report of a suspicious man at an off-site employee parking lot.



Police say they seized the weapons from a car, but there was no threat to the stadium or the event.



Police arrested 48-year-old Matthew Bromson, of North Granby, Connecticut.



Bromson faces charges of trespassing, disorderly conduct, possession of an electric stun gun and three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.



It's unclear if Bromson is represented by a lawyer.



A phone listing for Bromson rang unanswered Saturday.



He's expected to be arraigned Monday.
