A 43-year-old man is facing an assault charge after allegedly causing a disturbance in his child's school.
Steinbach RCMP say a school in the Hanover School Division was forced to go into lockdown shortly before lunch on Wednesday, Sept. 10, after the parent began shouting, uttering threats and throwing punches towards staff members.
Officers quickly made their way to the school and arrested the man who was still roaming the building when they arrived.
After his arrest, the suspect threatened to harm and fight the officers.
He has since been charged with assault and uttering threats x 4.
The name of the school is not being released to protect the student's privacy.
The suspect has since been released from custody with court-imposed conditions.
Steinbach RCMP continue to investigate.
