Sexsmith man charged following alleged assault of woman in Grande Prairie

Grande Prairie RCMP have arrested a Sexsmith man on aggravated assault charges.

After receiving reports on an assault at approximately 4:20 p.m. on May 30, officers responded to the scene in the area of 104 Street and 100 Avenue, where they located an adult female who had received serious but non-life-threatening injuries as a result of an alleged assault.

The RCMP determined that the woman, who was an employee at a nearby business, had asked a man to move from where he was lying outside the building so that the grass could be mowed. The man then got up and allegedly assaulted the woman.

She was taken by EMS to the hospital for treatment, and was released later that night.
