A 22 year old man was taken to hospital last night, after threatening to harm himself.

At approximately 8:00 p.m., August 13, 2019 Patrol officers were dispatched to a home in the 400 block of Avenue C South for a report of a disturbance. This was the second time in the evening officers had been called to this residence for a disturbance. A complainant reported that a man acting violent, had exited the home and begun throwing rocks at a house.

Upon Police arrival, the man was located inside the residence shouting and exhibiting violent behaviour. Officers entered the home as there was concern for the safety of the two other adult occupants inside. Police attempted to deescalate the situation, but the man produced a piece of glass and attempted to self-harm. A conducted energy weapon was successfully deployed and the man was taken into custody without further incident. Medavie Health Services attended and assessed the man on scene, before he was transported to hospital.

No charges will be laid. As with all CEW deployments, this incident will be reviewed in accordance with policy.
