A 44-year-old man from Pictou County has been charged with allegedly breaking and entering a home in Blue Mountain, and assaulting a man and woman inside.

On Tuesday, Pictou District RCMP responded to the complaint. The woman told police she was inside the home when the man entered and assaulted her.

The male resident of the home said he was outside when he saw the suspect enter the home. He then ran inside, and confronted the suspect. The two men struggled and the suspect left the home on his own, on foot. He was arrested by police shortly after he left the home.
