A 25 year-old Regina male is facing a number of charges in connection with two assaults.
Late Sunday evening, April 7th, 2013, police were dispatched to a report of an assault with a weapon at a residence in the 1200 Block of Argyle Street. A 37 year-old female alleged that she was the victim of a physical assault and had been attacked by a male wielding an axe. Fortunately, the victim did not require medical treatment. The suspect was gone upon arrival but police took statements and were alerted to a second call, involving the same suspect, in the area of the 2000 Block of St John Street. Police located the suspect as he was assaulting a 20-year-old female. The suspect fled the scene and a Canine unit was brought in to track him. He was located successfully a short distance from the second scene. The suspect was transported to hospital for minor injuries. The suspect and the victims are all known to each other.
