Moose Jaw Police had to use a Taser early Sunday morning as they dealt with a person causing self-harm.

Police were called around 2:30 Sunday morning to the 1200 block of 11th Avenue SW for a suicidal person. As police arrived, they attempted to arrest the person who then produced a knife and began to harm themself so police used the Taser to prevent a potentially lethal situation.

An official statement says the patient was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries. No charges are expected.
