Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: A 28-year-old Chatham man has been charged after a woman was injured during an intimate partner violence incident on Taylor Avenue.
Chatham-Kent police responded at about 1:58 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25, after people who received photographs of the woman showing injuries to her face contacted police with concerns for her wellbeing.
Police say a physical altercation had occurred earlier that day between the woman and her partner, and that the man swung a door open, striking the woman in the head. Officers found the man inside the residence. Police say he became uncooperative and resisted when told he was under arrest.
He is charged with assault with a weapon, assault and obstructing a police officer. He was released on an undertaking with conditions and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 30.
