An arrest has been made after a woman suffered facial injuries during an intimate partner violence incident in Chatham.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service was contacted Sunday afternoon by individuals who had received photographs of the woman displaying her injuries. Authorities said the woman’s partner had swung a door open during an argument, striking the woman in the head.
Officers attended a home in Chatham and located a suspect inside. The man allegedly was cooperative and actively resisted officers when he was taken into custody.
As a result, a 28-year-old Chatham man is now charged with assault with a weapon, assault, and obstructing a police officer. He was later released with conditions and a future court date.
