A Guelph male faces several charges after another male was chased down the street with a baseball bat Saturday afternoon.
Approximately 2:30 p.m., the Guelph Police Service received several calls about a male with a baseball bat chasing another male down Huron Street, swinging the bat while yelling death threats. No injuries were reported.
Police located the suspect and placed him under arrest. He was found to be experiencing a psychotic episode due to consumption of unknown substances and was transported to hospital to be medically cleared.
Officers learned the incident was sparked by the victim attending the suspect’s residence and accusing him of breaking into the victim’s home.
A 41-year-old Guelph male is charged with assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for dangerous purpose, uttering threats and failing to comply with a release order. He will appear in a Guelph bail court Tuesday.
