Brandon police arrested a man and a woman after responding to a domestic violence call on Thursday.
Police were sent to the 2000 block of McTavish Avenue at around 1:30 p.m. after receiving a call about a domestic assault in the area.
A 41-year-old woman went to her neighbour’s house after her partner allegedly kicked in the door of her home, while possibly armed with a knife, and assaulted her, BPS said in a news release.

The neighbour called police to report the assault and said the woman had scratches on her arms and a cut lip.
When police arrived, they also noticed swelling under the woman’s eye.
BPS said the woman was intoxicated and not co-operative with police, and they found she had an outstanding warrant for her arrest out of Winnipeg for failing to attend court.
Officers arrested the woman and took her into custody. She was scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
The suspect was gone when police arrived, but officers found him in the 800 block of Princess Avenue at around 2:30 p.m.
When police tried to arrest him, he ran away and there was a “brief foot pursuit,” BPS said.
Police arrested the man and found he had two X-Acto knives on him in violation of his probation order.
The man was charged with assault, resisting arrest and failing to comply with his probation. He was held in custody and was scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
