Update: Downtown assault and stabbing
This morning, officers with the Patrol Services section of the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service arrested 24 year old Curtis St. Pierre in relation to two incidents in the downtown area. Shortly after midnight, officers responded to an altercation in the area of Wellington Street East and Bruce Street. It is alleged that at this time the accused assaulted a male known to him by punching him while the victim was walking down the street. While assaulting the victim, it is alleged that the accused threatened to kill him. During that altercation the accused did receive a minor stab wound that he later received medical attention for.
A short time later, the accused went to the residence of the victim and forced his way into the front door using his shoulder. While forcing the door in, it is alleged that the accused pushed a female that was inside the doorway of the residence.
