THUNDER BAY — Police officers were able to rescue a child from a barricaded room after a weapons incident in a north-side Thunder Bay home on the weekend.
A man was arrested and charged with numerous offences including assault, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, break and enter, and assaulting a police officer.
According to the Thunder Bay Police Service, officers were dispatched Saturday just before 9 p.m. to a home in the zero-to-100 block of Albany Street.
When they arrived they observed a window near the entrance had been broken, and they encountered a man who threatened them while brandishing a knife.
After learning that two individuals were barricaded in a room inside the house, multiple officers were able to remove a child victim through a window, but a second victim remained inside.
When the armed man approached the room, officers intervened and made an arrest.
Police say the 36-year-old accused, who is known to the victims, also assaulted an officer while in custody.
He appeared in bail court on Sunday and was remanded into custody with a future appearance date.
