RCMP arrest man following assault on officer and three others

Treherne RCMP have arrested a man after he assaulted a police officer.

Police say on June 25th, they received a call asking for support at a provincial agency in the 200 block of Vanzile Street in Treherne. When the officer arrived, he was told that the man had assaulted three people already.

The 47-year-old man from Winnipeg Beach did not cooperate with the officer, which led to him resisting arrest and assaulting the police officer. The officer was then able to restrain the man and get him into a police car. 

The suspect faces charges of three counts of Assault, Assault on a Police Officer, and Uttering threats. He was held in custody to sober up and was released to appear in court at a later date.
