An RCMP police dog team was involved in locating an assault suspect last night.
Lunenburg District RCMP were called to an assault in progress at a home in Feltzen South just before midnight.
A man allegedly assaulted a woman inside the home then ran off into a nearby wooded area.
Responding officers called for the assistance of the police dog service which located the man a short time later hiding beneath tree.
The suspect refused to comply with officers but was eventually arrested and held in custody until his appearance in Bridgewater Provincial Court today.
Thirty-one year old Stephen Wade Tracey has been charged with assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement and utter death threats.
The victim sustained moderate injuries and was taken to hospital, while the suspect received minor injuries during his arrest and refused medical attention.
The suspect and victim were known to each other.
The investigation is ongoing.
