Man charged with assault police
Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: Last night, just before midnight, an officer on general patrol observed a man, wearing dark clothing, riding a bicycle against traffic with no lights on St. Clair Road near Heritage Line, just outside of Wallaceburg.
Concerned for his safety, the officer stopped and tried to talk to the man about road safety, especially while riding a bicycle at night with no lighting or reflective clothing.
The man ignored the officer and road away.

The man then got off his bicycle and grabbed at the officer through the window in an aggressive manner.
The officer exited his vehicle and placed the man under arrest.
At this time, the man resisted and threatened the officer.
