A Belleville, Ont., woman has been charged with assaulting a child after an incident in her east-end yard Sunday, police say.
Police responded to what they’re calling a disturbance involving several children and adults near Pine Street and Humewood Avenue shortly after 7 p.m.
They say a number of the adults had to be separated before officers arrived and allege a woman threw an 11-year-old boy to the ground following “an incident on her yard involving other children.”
A 31-year-old woman has been charged with assault.
The accused has been released on an undertaking with a May 23 court date.
