A 23-year-old man is facing charges following a standoff in Moncton which lasted more than eight hours.
Mounties were called to an Alma Street apartment shortly before 2:30 p.m. Friday for a report of an assault with a weapon.
They say a woman in her 20s suffered minor injuries during the alleged incident.
Police say a man barricaded himself inside an apartment when they arrived, so they set up a perimeter as a precaution.
Officers were able to enter the apartment shortly before 11 p.m. Friday and the man was taken into custody.
