Winnipeg police have arrested and charged a man suspected in connection with an assault at a University of Manitoba dormitory.

Police told CTV News that officers responded to a “suspicious call” coming from a restaurant along the southbound strip of the Pembina Highway around 11 p.m. Friday. The call came from a member of the public who had seen the previous notice and called police about a man outside the restaurant who apparently matched the description of the suspect.

The suspect was arrested in the 1800 block of Pembina Highway.

Investigators determined the man entered the Dafoe Road student residence early Friday morning, before breaking into the woman’s dorm room. That’s where the woman told police the man attacked her.

Garry Edwards Jr., 46, was charged with several offenses, including three counts of breaking and entering a dwelling house with intent, sexual assault, robbery and overcoming resistance by attempting to choke, choke or strangle another person.

Police also thanked the public, media and the University of Manitoba for their assistance in locating and identifying the suspect involved in the incident.

Edwards was taken into custody.

The University of Manitoba shared a statement Saturday afternoon acknowledging the arrest. He also reiterated additional security measures that have been put in place following the incident, including increased security presence and personnel, as well as routine checks of all entrances and exits to residences.
