Police were called to a home in the area of London Road East and Dufferin Street at about 8 a.m. following a reported assault, a news release explains.
While the officer was speaking with one male, his brother lunged at the officer causing him to fall backward. The man is alleged to have then grabbed for the officer’s conducted energy weapon but was not successful in taking it.
The officer sustained abrasions above his eye and on both arms.
A 34-year-old Guelph man is charged with assaulting a police officer, attempting to disarm a police officer, failure to comply with a release order and failure to leave a premises when directed.
