A 27 year-old man is facing charges following a report of a 9-1-1 hang up that lead to police deploying a taser.

Around 8:30 Saturday night, Saskatoon Police received a 9-1-1 call to a home in the 2200 block of 17th Street West.

Once officers arrived, they found a man in the yard. The man then came at the officers with a knife, that’s when police deployed a CEW.

The male was treated on scene and was then taking into custody without incident. The man is facing two charges of assaulting a police officer with a weapon. The 27 year-old will see a justice of the peace on Sunday.
