A 33-year-old Northern Bruce Peninsula man faces a number of charges including assault police, after an incident outside a shopping centre in Owen Sound’s east end Sunday night.
Owen Sound Police say they were called around 9:45 p.m. about a male attacking another male in the parking lot of Walmart on 18th Avenue East.
Police say officers arriving on scene were immediately approached by an enraged male who refused to listen to direction to back away from them.
City Police say one of the responding officers deployed a Conductive Energy Weapon, but the path of the weapon was deflected as the male struck the officer in the process.
Police allege a second responding officer was punched by the 33-year-old suspect.
“The male continued to be assaultive towards police as he was taken to the ground and handcuffed. Once lodged into a police vehicle, the male continually kicked at the vehicle’s doors and windows,” Owen Sound Police say in a release.
City Police say the 33-year-old man from Northern Bruce Peninsula faces charges of causing a disturbance, assault, assault police, assault to resist arrest and disarming a police officer.
Additional charges are pending against the accused, who has not been named by police.
Police say the 33-year-old man is being held in custody pending a bail hearing on Monday.
