A Guelph male faces assault charges after another male had two teeth knocked out Wednesday afternoon.

Police say they were called to a disturbance in the area of Janefield Avenue and Scottsdale Drive around 5:45 p.m. The alleged victim arrived at an address to pick a female up for dinner when another male approached his vehicle armed with a screwdriver and attempted to break the window.

Eventually the suspect was able to open the door and punch the victim several times in the face. The victim did not seek medical attention.

The suspect fled on foot but was located a short distance away and arrested. A 38-year-old Guelph male is charged with assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon. He will appear in a Guelph court March 15.
