A London man faces charges after police say he allegedly assaulted an officer.
Around 6:15 p.m. Monday, police were called to a building on Bathhurst Street near Waterloo Street. A man was on the roof of the building, and for several hours, officers tried to talk him into coming down. However, according to police, the man threw several patio stones to the ground.
He is then alleged to have broken a window and gone into the building, where he damaged more property.
Around 10:35 p.m., police went into the building and the man tried to run away. But he was arrested at the scene.
That's when police allege he assaulted one of the arresting officers. Police say the officer wasn't hurt.
A 38-year-old man is charged with assaulting a peace officer, resisting a peace officer, and mischief under $5,000.
He was released from custody and will appear in court in January.
