Man charged with 2 counts of assaulting an officer: Guelph Police | The Canadian News

Guelph police say a 42-year-old man was charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer following an arrest downtown early Saturday morning.

Officers were at an address on Carden Street shortly after 2 a.m. to receive reports of a disturbance.

Police said in a press release that a woman had been assaulted and her cell phone vandalized. Officers arrested a man, but while escorting him to a cruise ship, police said he spat in one of the officers’ face.

He was then taken to Guelph General Hospital for medical treatment, and while there, police said he kneed a second officer in the face.

None of the officers suffered serious injuries, police said.

The service added that the suspect is also bound by various court orders, including house arrest in Fergus and a 24-hour curfew.
