A 45-year-old Saskatoon man is in custody and facing multiple charges after he assaulted police officers on Saturday night.
Police were called to a home in the 400 block of 5 St. east where a male was reportedly acting strangely. When they entered the home, the man approached the officers while swinging a weapon at them. They attempted to use tasers to detain the man, but they were ineffective.
The suspect is facing charges of failing to comply with a Conditional Sentence Order, carrying a concealed weapon and five counts of assault with a weapon.
He was taken to hospital for a medical assessment.
