A Kingston man is facing several charges after police say he brutally assaulted his ex-wife and another woman.
Kingston police say a 38-year-old local man broke into his ex-wife’s home, which is located north of the city.
He allegedly entered through a rear door, despite numerous court-ordered conditions to stay away from his ex-wife. Police say these conditions stemmed from a previous domestic incident that occurred in November 2018.

According to a police press release, the man went on a rampage while inside the home, assaulting his ex-wife and a second woman multiple times.
At one point, police claim the man armed himself with a kitchen knife, prompting the victims to lock themselves in the children’s bedroom. The accused then allegedly broke down the door and continued to assault the two women.
