The Regina Police Service (RPS) has charged a 41 year-old man in connection with alleged assaults on two police officers.

The alleged assaults occurred after police responded to call of an “unwanted guest” at a business in the 1700 block of East Dewdney Avenue on Jan. 23, 2022.

This alleged incident took place at at approximately 4:41 p.m., after a report was made to police of a man who was described as an “unwanted guest.”

“Staff at the store said the male was bothering customer; they asked him to leave several times, but the male refused,” police stated. “Officers arrived and advised the male he should leave.

“When the male ignored them, one officer took his arm and the suspect began grappling with the officer. After a struggle, it’s alleged the suspect spit into the face of a second officer.”
