Peterborough Police say officers were called to the area of Brock Street and Chambers Street at approximately 4:15 pm on Friday, July 10, after receiving a report of an assault in progress.

When officers arrived, they learned a victim had allegedly been assaulted with a piece of wood. Police say the suspect had left the area before officers arrived, but a description of the individual was shared with officers in the area.

A man matching the description was later located near Murray Street and arrested.

Through the investigation, police say it was determined that the suspect had also taken property from the victim during the assault.

A 28-year-old Peterborough man has been charged with assault with a weapon, robbery with violence, and four counts of failing to comply with a probation order.

The accused was held in custody and appeared in Weekend and Statutory Holiday (WASH) court on July 11.
