An American man appears in court today to face charges stemming from an alleged assault in Shelburne County.
The Barrington RCMP responded on Friday morning to a call to a residence in Lower Clark's Harbor.
The Mounties were told that an argument on Thursday night between a U-S couple visiting their seasonal-residence in Lower Clark's Harbor had turned physical.
The 66-year-old woman was transported by neighbors to the Yarmouth Regional Hospital, where medical-pesonell determined that the woman had suffered a broken arm during the incident.
A 65-year-old man remains in custody and will face a charge of "assault causing bodily harm" when he appears today at Provincial Court in Yarmouth.
