A 30-year-old man from Regina is facing weapons charges, including explosives possession, in connection with an alleged assault of a woman.

According to Regina police, the night of June 5 police were called to the 1000 block of Angus St. where a man was reported to be threatening harm to a woman with a knife. Police arrived and found a man matching the description, who was taken into custody without incident.

Police seized a knife and what initially appeared to be an improvised firearm, but further investigation and consultation with a member of the Explosives Disposal Unit found the object was a "potential explosive device."

The man is charged with unlawful possession of explosives, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon and assault with a weapon. He made his first court appearance Monday.
