One person is facing charges in an assault from almost two years ago.

On July 22, 2023 multiple people called 911 to report an assault in the 0-100 block of Smale Avenue. 

Police were told the accused had struck the victim with a bag full of heavy objects, pulled their hair and kicked them. 

The victim – who knew the accused – had minor physical injuries.

On Wednesday, March 5, officers arrested a suspect.

Alexander Currie, 44, has been charged with:

  • Assault with Weapon
  • Assault

None of the allegations have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
