Two people are facing a number of weapons related charges following a bear spray incident, yesterday.

At approximately 4:45 p.m., on October 16, 2019, Saskatoon Police received numerous reports of a group of people fighting in the 2500 block of 18th Street West. Before Police arrived, a male victim had fled to a nearby school. He told officers that he had been approached from behind by three unknown people who attempted to steal his phone while he was using it.

Two male suspects and one female suspect were located nearby and taken into custody without incident. One man was released without charges. A can of bear spray was found in the possession of the second male suspect. The female suspect was found to be in possession of methamphetamine.
