The North Bay Police Service reports a 42-year-old city man has been charged with assault.
On Sept. 30, city police responded to a Trout Lake Road business.
Police say they received a report a person was bothering customers when an employee attempted to talk with the man.
“The victim attempted to speak with the accused, at which time the accused approached the victim and struck the victim using his fist before leaving the area,” states a release. “The victim in this incident sustained minor, non-life threatening physical injuries as a result of the assault.”
Police say the victim and accused are not known to one another.
The accused, who was arrested by police on the same day as the incident, was held pending a bail hearing at the North Bay Courthouse.
