A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a man police say allegedly committed new crimes this week while on statutory release for a manslaughter conviction.

       Vancouver Police allege the suspect assaulted and threatened another person on Saturday.

       Emile Williams, who is 33, had been living at a Vancouver halfway house.

       He was sentenced for manslaughter in 2013.

       In addition to the Canada-wide warrant for breach of Corrections and Conditional Release Act, Williams also has B.C.-wide warrants for assault and uttering threats.

       Police say he has a violent history, and anyone who sees him or has information on his whereabouts should immediately call 911.
