Two 25-year-old men face assault-related charges following a weekend altercation in a residential area, say Portage la Prairie RCMP.
On May 11, 2025, at approximately 11:30 p.m., officers responded to reports of a fight on Oak Bay.
Upon arrival, police identified and arrested a man outside the scene, later determined to be a resident of Long Plain First Nation.
A second suspect was located inside a nearby residence and taken into custody without incident.
The Long Plain First Nation man has been charged with assault.
The second accused, a Portage la Prairie resident, faces more severe charges, including assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.
Both were released with conditions and ordered to appear in court at a later date.
No injuries were reported, and medical attention was not required.
RCMP confirmed the investigation remains ongoing.
