Nanaimo RCMP say a 37-year-old man was arrested Tuesday evening after a reported assault with a weapon.
Police say on Tuesday evening, they received a report of an assault with a weapon that had just occurred at a home.
According to police, it was reported that during the assault, a gun was brandished toward a victim.
