A Saskatoon man is in custody following a domestic violence assault and collision with a police cruiser in the early hours of Saturday.
Officers received a report of domestic violence at a residence in the 2400 block of Melrose Avenue around 1 a.m., according to a release from the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS).
Once they arrived, the suspect was witnessed leaving the scene in a Dodge Ram Truck, which officers located in the area of 11th Street West and Circle Drive.

The truck came to a stop in a parking lot in the 300 block of Clancy Drive and officers were able to take the suspect into custody.
The 52-year-old man is charged with assault, assaulting a peace officer, evading police, dangerous driving, and breach of court conditions.
