A man is in police custody with charges pending in relation to a break-in and violent assault of a woman earlier this week.
Early on Sept. 10, at around 3:30 a.m., police responded to reports of a break-in on the 200 block of Mayor Magrath Drive, where a 27-year-old woman was attacked while she was asleep.
Police say the suspect assaulted her with a weapon then fled through a window.
The victim was transported by EMS to Chinook Hospital with serious injuries.
Officers responded to the scene along with a K9 track that failed to locate the suspect.
Further investigation by the department's violent crimes unit helped identify a suspect, who was arrested Wednesday without incident.
The suspect, who was unknown to the victim, remains in police custody with charges pending.
