The London Police Service has charged a man in connection with a west-end assault and threat incident.

On Tuesday around 3 p.m., police said the suspect was outside a business near Oxford Street West and Wonderland Road North, when an employee approached him. The employee reportedly asked him to leave the property, when the suspect allegedly threatened them.

The employee went back inside the building and officers said the suspect followed and assaulted them before leaving.

Afterwards, the man was said to have gone to another business and again asked to leave by an employee. More threats were allegedly said.

Police were called and the suspect was arrested nearby.

A 55-year-old London man is now charged with uttering threats of death or bodily harm and assault.
