A Chatham man is facing several charges following multiple domestic assault incidents.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers responded to an incident in Chatham at around 1 a.m. on Thursday after an argument between two people travelling in a vehicle escalated into violence.
According to police, a man threatened and assaulted a woman by pulling her hair, throwing tools at her, and removing her from the vehicle before leaving the area. Authorities also learned that the woman had been the victim of historical assault incidents.
A 45-year-old Chatham man was later arrested at a Chatham residence and charged with two counts of assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, and uttering threats to cause death. He was held in custody for a bail hearing.
