Provincial police arrested and charged a Wasaga Beach man accused of assaulting a female, threatening an officer and damaging an OPP cruiser after officers responded to a disturbance call.
OPP officers were called to a location in Collingwood about a verbal dispute that they say escalated to intimate partner violence on Monday.
"A 35-year-old male assaulted a female, damaged her personal property, and was found in possession of a spring-assisted knife with a brass knuckle handle," OPP stated in a release about the alleged incident.
Police say the man resisted officers during his arrest and was later found to be in breach of existing prohibition orders and undertakings. Along with court and weapons-related offences, the accused faces charges of assault, mischief, and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.
He was held in police custody overnight to await a bail hearing in Barrie.
"No further details will be released to protect the victim and integrity of the court process," the OPP concluded.
Anyone with information on this investigation is asked to contact the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains OPP at 705-445-4321 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
