A 39-year-old London man is accused of assaulting a police officer during an arrest in relation to an east-end shooting.
London police were called to Florence Street and Kellogg Lane after shots rang out around 1:15 a.m. on Monday.
When officers arrived on scene one was attacked before the suspect took off. The male suspect was found nearby shortly after and a loaded gun was seized.
