A Guelph female who allegedly punched and spit on a security guard downtown faces assault charges.

On Thursday about 12:40 p.m., the female was sitting near the employee entrance of a downtown business yelling at people who were coming and going, report Guelph police. When a security guard asked her to move along, the female became hostile and punched him in the chest and arm. She also spit at him, striking him in the facemask.

The female fled but was located by police about 2 p.m. Friday and charged with assault and breaching probation. She was held in custody for a bail hearing on Saturday, where she was released to appear in a Guelph court April 27.
