A 20-year-old Dauphin man faces charges in an aggravated assault incident that occurred last month at the Selo Ukraina Site in Dauphin.

On Sunday, March 21, 2010, officers from the Dauphin Municipal RCMP Detachment were called to the Dauphin Hospital. A Dauphin man had checked in at the hospital with serious facial injuries he had sustained in a fight with another man at a social the previous night.

The victim was interviewed by officers and a suspect was identified. The suspect was arrested that afternoon and was released from custody on a promise to appear.

A charge of aggravated assault has now been laid against 20-year-old Justin Stanley Reiss Michaud of Dauphin. The investigation to date has shown that the assault occurred outside the hall at the Selo Ukraina Site after the victim made an offensive comment towards Michaud. Both parties had been drinking. 

The victim is recovering from his injuries and the investigation is continuing.
