A routine call to a south-end home turned volatile when an officer was assaulted during a family dispute. Police say the situation escalated quickly as they confronted a man who was not supposed to be at the residence.
A Guelph man faces charges after a Guelph Police Service officer was assaulted while responding to a disturbance at a south-end address Tuesday.
Approximately 10:10 a.m. police were called to a family dispute at an address on Cole Road. Officers entered the home and spoke to a man who was not supposed to be there. While speaking to him, the man pushed an officer and then wrapped his arms around the officer’s shoulders and neck.
He was detained and during the struggle a folding knife fell from his pocket.
An 18-year-old Guelph man is charged with assault police to resist arrest and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in court January 6.
