Man arrested after punching teenager

On Friday February 29, South Simcoe Police were contacted about an alleged assault.

Both the victim and the accused are known to one another. It appears the accused, a 22-year-old Bradford man, attended to the victim's house to deal with an outstanding issue.

The accused was upset at the time and the victim, a 19- year-old Bradford man, advised that he didn't wish to talk to the accused in his state of mind. The victim asked the accused to leave his property and closed the door. The accused then started to kick the door and the victim again opened the door to get the accused to leave and to stop damaging his parent's property.

Once the door was opened wide enough, the accused hit the victim in the face several times.

The accused then left the property. Police contacted the accused and was later arrested and released with conditions.

He has a court date in April.
