A 29 year-old man is in custody after police were required to use a Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) on Saturday.

At approximately 4:24p.m. Officers were dispatched to a home on Ross Crescent and found a man they report was wanting to self harm with a knife. Officers made attempts to have him drop the knife but say he was showing signs of agitation and aggression.

One of the officers deployed their CEW successfully. The man then was taken into custody without further incident and was transported to the hospital for medical treatment.

The incident will be reviewed in accordance with Saskatoon Police Service policy.
