Chatham-Kent Police say a man forced his way into his neighbour’s home.
When confronted by the homeowner, a struggle ensued, at which point the suspect bit the resident’s finger.
With the help of two neighbours, the culprit was trapped in a closet until police arrived.
The homeowner and suspect were taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
A 41-year-old Wheatley man is now facing charges of break and enter and assault.
