A 38-year-old woman experienced a real nightmare Friday evening in Quebec while her ex-partner allegedly sequestered her in her home and assaulted her with a weapon. The suspect, a 40-year-old man, was arrested by police.

The alleged facts allegedly occurred in the Beauport sector. Police were called to the scene around 6:25 p.m. for a case of domestic violence in a residence.

The suspect appeared at the home of his ex-partner and kidnapped and assaulted her.

The victim would have managed to leave the scene and take refuge safely with a neighbor, indicated Pierre-Olivier Lévesque, communications officer for the Police Department of the City of Quebec (SPVQ).

On site, the police made the arrest of the suspect. The 40-year-old man was arrested for armed assault, kidnapping, threats, breach of conditions and possession of narcotics, adds the SPVQ spokesperson, who does not specify what type of weapon was used. .
