2 officers assaulted in Saturday standoff; 1 man arrested
Police say a woman was assaulted in the incident
Windsor police say they've arrested a 31-year old man after a five-hour standoff while the suspect was in a woman's home Saturday evening
Police say officers responded to a call at a home on Ypres Avenue just before 7:30 p.m.
"Officers learned that a male suspect had forcibly entered a woman's residence, contrary to court-ordered conditions, and refused to leave," police said in a statement. "The man reportedly threatened and assaulted the woman, who eventually fled the home and sought help."
Officers established a perimeter around the home and called in negotiators and the department's emergency services unit (ESU), police said.
ESU members entered the home after five hours and arrested one person, police said, and while two officers were reportedly assaulted during the arrest, they did not require treatment.
Police have not named the suspect to protect the identity of the victim, but say the 31-year-old man has been charged with forcible entry, forcible confinement, assault with a weapon, uttering death and property threats, two counts of assaulting police with a weapon, resisting arrest, mischief, unlawfully entering a swelling and two counts of failing to comply with a probation order.
