As they did, police say, the man brandished the knife and tapped it against the glass door.
Police arrested 33-year-old Kelly Alan Sears, of Des Moines, and charged him with two counts each of harassment and trespassing.
Sears remains in the Polk County Jail on a nearly $30,000 bond and could not be reached for comment.
