windsor police arrested a 20-year-old man tuesday night following a reported assault with a metal pipe in the 300 block of glengarry avenue.
shortly after 9 p.m. on july 29, officers responded to a report of an assault at a downtown apartment building where they found a male suffering from lacerations to his head, arm and leg.
an investigation revealed that the victim was inside an apartment unit when another man attacked him with a metal pipe. police captured the alleged assailant as he attempted to flee the building.
a search connected to the arrest uncovered a conducted energy weapon (commonly known as a taser) as well as a small quantity of fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine.
the suspect has been charged with: assault with a weapon; assault causing bodily harm; possession of a prohibited weapon; carrying a concealed weapon; possession of a schedule i substance; obstruction of a peace officer; and failure to comply with a release order.
tuesday’s arrest comes a month after the latest police enforcement blitz targeting apartment buildings in the 300 and 400 blocks of glengarry avenue and aimed at improving community safety in a troubled downtown windsor neighbourhood. city police arrested 17 people over three days during the targeted operation.
