Kai Kiernan, 19 of no fixed abode, has been charged with possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
Kiernan will appear in Leamington Spa Magistrates Court on 24 July.
This follows the events of 7 July, when at 12:30am a community warden flagged a man allegedly acting strangely in Leamington Spa town centre to the police.
The man reportedly ran off when the warden attempted to approach him.
When police arrived and attempted to detain the man, CCTV operators reportedly captured footage of the man allegedly attempting to dispose of a bladed article into a nearby bin.
A knife was then reportedly recovered by the community warden from the bin.
The man was subsequently arrested.
