A Northwest Territories MLA pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm Thursday morning in a Yellowknife courtroom.
Michael Nadli, MLA for Deh Cho, was charged two months ago after an incident at a Fort Providence home.
The victim was treated at the local health centre for non-life-threatening injuries.
This is the second time Nadli has pleaded guilty to an assault charge. Eleven years ago he was sentenced to six months of probation for another assault.
