A Guelph man faces an assault charge after a dispute between roommates Monday evening.

Just before 9 p.m. two men became involved in a verbal dispute inside their home on Stevenson Street North. One of the men was shoved and fell backwards, hitting his head on the floor.

Officers arrived a short time later and found the suspect sitting at the kitchen table. Investigation revealed he is on a probation order with a term to keep the peace and be of good behaviour.

A 41-year-old Guelph man is charged with assault and breaching probation. He was held for a bail hearing Tuesday.
