An Elliot Lake man is facing several charges including assault against his mother.
On Thursday, at around 10pm, East Algoma OPP responded to a family dispute call at a residence on Laprairie Crescent in Elliot Lake.
The complainant had gone to a neighbour’s house to call police.
She said her son had threatened her with a knife and had caused damage inside the residence.
The man was found a short time later and arrested.
The 54-year-old is facing several charges including two counts of assault with a weapon, forcible confinement and uttering threats.
He appeared in Blind River court Friday.
