    GATINEAU, Que. — The assault trial of suspended senator Patrick Brazeau has been adjourned until mid-September.
     
    Brazeau is facing charges of assault and sexual assault arising from an alleged incident two years ago in the western Quebec city of Gatineau and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
     
    The female complainant, whose identity is protected, claims Brazeau pushed her down stairs, choked her, hit her head against a wall, spat on her and sexually assaulted her.
     
    Proceedings will resume Sept. 15 with the Crown scheduled to show a videotaped declaration Brazeau made to police after his February 2013 arrest
     
    The trial was originally meant to last three days but today was the eighth day as lawyers discussed the admissibility of the video evidence.
     
    Brazeau is expected to take the stand in his own defence once the Crown has concluded.
