Hey there, time traveller!

A man who illegally crossed the Canada-U.S. border at Emerson early Saturday morning attacked a border official and is now facing several charges.
The 37-year-old man had been taken into custody by RCMP after he crossed the border and was searched, identified and screened before being taken to the Canada Border Services Agency at the Emerson port of entry to make a refugee claim.
The RCMP said the man was in a cell waiting for his claim to be processed when he threatened to harm CBSA officers, damaged the fire sprinkler inside the cell causing water to spray and then physically assaulted an officer.
The officer sustained a minor injury but did not require medical attention.
Ahmed Aden Ali from Minneapolis has been charged with two counts of uttering threats, mischief over $5,000 and assaulting a peace officer. He is being held in custody.
