A 41-year-old man was arrested and charged after a frightening incident at an apartment complex in Deer Lake early Monday morning.

RCMP say a tenant of the complex on Sixth Avenue heard noises in a neighbouring apartment and was assaulted with a weapon when they went over to investigate.

The victim’s injuries were not life-threatening.

RCMP say Jason Deering was arrested a short time later at a home on Williams Avenue in Deer Lake. He’s been charged with break and enter with intent and assault with a weapon.

He’s set to appear in court at a later date.

The investigation continues.
