Brandon police arrested a man on Tuesday after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend in a business parking lot the previous day.
The Brandon Police Service responded to reports on an assault in the parking lot of a business on the 1600 block of 18th Street on Monday at around 2 p.m. and determined that a man had assaulted his 28-year-old girlfriend, BPS said in a news release.
The man was driving in the parking lot when he hit a parked vehicle and proceeded to hit the woman and kicked her out of the vehicle, BPS said. Police said she sustained “significant bruising and swelling” on her face.
When officers got to the scene, the man had already left, BPS said.
The following day at around 6 p.m., BPS received a report of an erratic driver in the 1600 block of McTavish Avenue. Police found the vehicle and identified the driver as the suspect from the assault the previous day, police said.
The man’s licence had been suspended, and police found he had a hatchet with him, despite being bound by a court-ordered condition that prohibited him from having weapons, BPS said.
Police arrested the 28-year-old man and charged him with assault, possessing a weapon, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to comply with a probation order.
The vehicle was seized and impounded for 30 days. The man was held in custody overnight and scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
