A Guelph teenager faces charges after a personal support worker was allegedly assaulted Saturday.
Guelph police report that at approximately 9:20 a.m. the worker called police from a residence in the city’s south end. She advised her client smashed a glass over her head and threatened her with a knife.
Officers arrived minutes later and observed the victim bleeding from a gash near her eye. The teen yelled at police from a bedroom window while holding a knife. Officers were able to deescalate the situation and convinced the teen to drop the knife and come outside. The victim was transported to hospital for treatment.
A 15 year old is charged with assault with a weapon, mischief and uttering threats. He will appear in a Guelph court Jan. 12.
