Winnipeg police have a 32-year-old man in custody Tuesday after a woman and a teen girl were assaulted and hospitalized late Monday night.

An adult man who is known to the victims went to a residence at the 1500 block of Pembina Highway Monday where the 46-year-old woman and 13-year old girl were, a police release said. They were assaulted with a weapon, police said, and the man fled.
