Arsenic is a metalloid, or "semi-metal". The whole reason for the special category "metalloids" is that some compounds act like metals in some ways and like non-metals in others. Asking whether they're more like metals or nonmetals depends partly on what properties in particular you're concerned with.
In the case of arsenic, there are different allotropes as well. Grey arsenic, the more stable and more common form, is more metallic in character than yellow arsenic.
