Two people face charges following an alleged assault in Regina on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers were called to a residence in the 1200 block of Queen Street for a report of an assault in progress just before 1:30 p.m., according to a release from Regina Police Service (RPS).
Police said when they got there, they learned the victim had just left and walked to a nearby school. She said a man had physically assaulted her before he pointed a firearm at her, and a woman at the home threatened her with bear mace, according to the release.
Around 2:30 p.m., the man and woman exited the house after officers worked to bring the suspects into custody.
A 42-year-old man is charged with assault and pointing a firearm, and a 37-year-old woman is charged with assault with a weapon.
Schools in the area secured their buildings while officers brought the suspects into custody.
