A 40-year-old Winnipeg man is facing multiple charges after police say a confrontation over a deceased kitten in a downtown apartment complex escalated into an assault with a weapon.<\/p>\n
Winnipeg police say that at around 11 p.m. on May 2, a 43-year-old woman heard sounds consistent with a cat in distress in her apartment complex in the 400 block of William Avenue. She went to investigate and discovered a deceased kitten in the hallway.<\/p>\n
