A violent domestic-related incident over the weekend resulted in a woman and a child being sent to hospital and a 24-year-old man facing multiple assault charges.
In a release, Regina police say they were called out to a home in the Gladmer Park area Saturday afternoon for a report of an assault. Police were told the alleged assault was a domestic-related incident involving members of the same household.
When police arrived they found the suspect, as well as a woman and three children under the age of five.
When police told the man he was under arrest and tried to take him into custody, the man got into a physical altercation with police. During the altercation, the man allegedly assaulted both police officers before running from the home. Police found him nearby and he was arrested and taken into custody.
The woman and the youngest of the children were taken to hospital for treatment.
The 24-year-old Lebret, SK man is facing several charges including:
- Assault Causing Bodily Harm [CC 267 (B)];
- Assault Causing Bodily Harm – Choking, Suffocating or Strangling [CC 267 (C)];
- Assault [CC 266];
- 2 X Assault A Peace Officer [CC 270 (1)(A)];
- Resist Arrest [CC 129 (A)];
- Uttering Threats [CC 264.1 (1)(A)];
- Mischief Under $5000 [CC 430 (4)].
Police say because this is an incident of domestic conflict, the name of the man will not be released to protect the identity of the victims/occupants of the same household.
He made his first court appearance Tuesday morning.
