On July 31, 2023, at approximately 5:30 p.m., officers from the East District responded to a well-being call at a residence in the North Kildonan neighbourhood.
Upon arrival, officers spoke to a resident of the house when another resident (a teenager) confronted the two officers and unexpectedly sprayed bear spray directly in their faces.
A 15-year-old male was taken into custody, and WFPS subsequently attended to treat the officers and other residents for exposure.
He is facing charges of Assault Peace Officer with a Weapon x 2 and Possess a Weapon. He was released on an Undertaking into the care of an adult, as mandated by the Criminal Code.
