A Cap-Pele man is facing several charges following an assault in Shediac on the weekend.
Mounties say the suspect entered a home on Main Street in Shediac early Sunday morning and threatened and assaulted the owner, a 55-year-old woman.
The victim got away to a neighbour’s home and called police.
The man fled the area but officers later found him at a home in Pointe-du-Chêne with the help of a police dog.
Romeo LeBlanc, 67, has been charged with assault with a weapon, assault and uttering threats.
He is being held in custody until his next court appearance Wednesday.
Police say the suspect and the victim knew each other.
