The 22-year-old female victim received non-life-threatening physical injuries during the altercation with a male suspect, who had left the area prior to police arrival.
Officers arrested the suspect around 5 p.m. at a residence in Mount Pearl and charged him with two counts of violence against an intimate partner for assault causing bodily harm and assault by choking, and two counts of breaching a release order.
He was held to appear in court.
The RNC would like to remind the public that it has a team of dedicated officers trained to assist and support victims and survivors of intimate partner violence.
The RNC Intimate Partner Violence Unit (IPVU) can explain the criminal investigation process and help navigate the court process should complainants choose to pursue charges. They can also provide information on available resources, and help with safety planning, Emergency Protection Orders, and Peace Bond applications.
The IPVU can be reached by calling 709-729-8093 or by email at ipv@rnc.gov.nl.ca. If immediate assistance is needed, always call 911.
