An off-duty Alberta RCMP member is facing assault charges after a man entered a home in Tofield and attacked the homeowner and another resident, Mounties said Monday.

A man forced entry to the home on Oct. 29 but was restrained and convinced to leave the premises. He returned, however, and continued to assault both victims a second time before RCMP took him into custody.
