Thunder Bay Police were at a Cumming Street apartment complex early this morning for a weapons call, after receiving reports of a man wielding a baseball bat.
Officers were notified the man was swinging the bat in a stairwell and had struck a woman, shortly after 2 a.m.
After spotting the suspect, who attempted to flee, officers engaged in a foot pursuit and took the 29-year-old into custody.
Conveniently the accused was already wanted by police, for a probation breach.
He has been charged with:
• Assault • Obstruct Peace Officer • Assault with a Weapon • Mischief Under $5,000 • Fail to Comply with a Probation Order
The accused appeared in court today and was remanded into custody.
