A Guelph man has been arrested for assaulting a right to life protester.

Just after 6 p.m. last Thursday, a man in his 60s was standing near Woolwich Street and Eramosa Road with a sign when he was approached by a second man. The second man stared at him for some time and then stepped very close to him before punching the protester in the side of the head, knocking his glasses off.

The suspect was located downtown Friday evening and arrested. A 49-year-old Guelph man is charged with assault. He will appear in court April 23.
