On Friday night, at around 10:10 pm, Regina Police were dispatched to a business on the 1100 block of Angus Street.

Police were told the woman was outside of the business and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The woman was yelling and screaming and causing a disturbance.

When police arrived, the woman was holding syringe in her hand and threatening to harm herself. Officers attempted to negotiate with her, directing her to drop the syringe. The woman refused to follow police direction.

After failed attempts to verbally deescalate the situation, a Taser was deployed, and the woman was taken into custody.

The woman was taken to hospital by EMS. At this time, no charges have been laid in this incident.
