Assault
Just after 4:00 PM on Monday April 28, 2014 officers were called to an address on Wellington Street to investigate an assault. The 21 year old accused man was having an argument with his mother when another male present expressed his displeasure with the way the accused was treating her. The two men began arguing and the confrontation became physical. The accused then grabbed a knife block and threw it at the victim; he then grabbed a stool and threw that at the victim before getting a knife and chasing the victim. The victim ran from the house and called police.
The accused also came outside and flattened a tire on a car belonging to the victim. The accused then picked up his own bicycle and threw it at the victim’s car and then at the victim. The accused then left on his bicycle and was arrested a short distance away.
The accused is being held pending a Bail Hearing and faces four counts of Assault with a Weapon, one count Assault, one count Uttering Threats, one count Weapons Dangerous and Mischief.
