A 24-year-old Nelson House man is facing 10 counts of assault with a weapon and numerous other offences after being arrested at an apartment complex on Princeton Drive in Thompson Feb. 2.

Two of the women were treated by emergency medical services at the scene while the third was taken to hospital for treatment of her injuries.
In addition to the assault with a weapon charges, Antonio Miles Spence is charged with five counts of uttering threats, three counts each of forcible confinement and assault, breaking and entering, abandoning a child, administering a noxious substance, mischief under $5,000, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and resisting arrest.
He was remanded into custody.
