A Lower Sackville man has been arrested in connection to an assault and threats investigation, according to the RCMP.

Police say they responded to two calls in the area of Brecken Ridge Lane around 11:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

During the first call, police say a woman arrived at a nearby home and reported being assaulted by a man who had also damaged a truck. A second 911 call was received from the same area moments later.

In a news release Wednesday, police say responding officers found a crashed vehicle and learned a man had allegedly assaulted a woman, crashed his truck, uttered threats and damaged the residence before fleeing the area with a baseball bat and a knife.

Police searched the area and found the man on a roof of a building. After several hours, 26-year-old Luke Brown-Black was arrested.

Brown-Black was charged with:

• assault
• assault with a weapon
• uttering threats (two counts)
• mischief under $5,000
• fail to comply with release order
• taking a motor vehicle without consent
• resisting arrest

Brown-Black is set to appear in court in Dartmouth on Wednesday.
