Manitoba RCMP say a 25-year-old man has been charged after allegedly attacking a Mountie at the Portage District General Hospital.
RCMP says the alleged incident happened around 1:45 a.m. on Aug. 3, when a Mountie was on shift and guarding a prisoner at the hospital, when an unknown man attacked the officer.
The officer asked for backup and was able to fight to control the man with help from hospital staff. Reports indicate that during the altercation, the man tried to take the officer’s firearm.
Additional officers responded to the hospital and were able to help take the man into custody. However, while being handcuffed, the man again tried to take a firearm from a different officer.
RCMP says that one officer suffered minor injuries during the incident and was treated at the hospital.
Police say 25-year-old Dylan Twovoice is in custody and has been charged with assaulting a police officer, two counts of disarming a police officer, mischief under $5,000, and resisting/obstrucing a peace officer.
