Tree Branch Assault On Neighbour

A Chatham man's facing an assault charge after police say he hit his neighbour with a tree branch.

Police were called to a disturbance around 10:30pm Friday where they say the neighbours were arguing before the confrontation turned physical.

The suspect fled before police arrived, but was located yesterday morning where the 33-year-old was charged and held pending for a bail hearing.

The victim did not require medical attention.
