A 19-year-old has been arrested and charged after a reported altercation in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

RCMP on patrol were approached by someone early Thursday morning who claimed they had been assaulted and threatened with a knife.

The victim suffered minor injuries and did not require medical attention.

Police got a name and description of the suspect and the accused was found on a nearby trail.

Kobe Rich has been charged with assault, assault with a weapon and uttering threats and was held to appear in court.

He has since been released on court-imposed conditions and is scheduled to return to court in November.
