A 27-year-old Sarnia woman is facing a dozen criminal charges following a violent incident in the 800 block of London Road on Thursday night.
City police said just before midnight three people were at an apartment unit when one of them became upset and began to strike another.
The victim ran into another room where the third person was, and locked the door behind them. The suspect then left the apartment and the victims were able to lock the main door.
The suspect allegedly returned and began banging on the door. Police said the victims let her in because they feared the door would be broken.
