Two people were arrested Monday night after a person was threatened with a hatchet in the 3800 block of Albert Street.

According to a media release issued by the Regina Police Service, a 34-year-old woman was arrested and charged with assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. A 25-year-old man was charged with failing to comply with a probation order in connection with the same incident.
