Guelph man reportedly attacks women with bat and golf club

A Guelph man is facing several charges after reportedly threatening women with a bat and golf club. Guelph police said on Monday, just before 3 p.m., officers were dispatched to an apartment building on Speedvale Avenue East where a woman reported a man she knew asked her for cigarettes. When she refused, police said, he got a baseball bat and smashed her window. The man approached a second woman, who he also knew, and began threatening her and banging the bat on the ground, police said. He dropped the bat and picked up a golf club, and chased her around the parking lot with the club raised over his head, police added. When officers arrived, they arrested the man, 66, charging him with assault with a weapon, mischief under $5,000, four counts of breaching probation orders and two counts of breaching bail conditions. He was held for a bail hearing Tuesday.Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again. You may unsubscribe at any time.
