Guelph police say a man was arrested after a former co-worker was choked at a business in the city’s west end.
Police said a female employee was working on Friday when a former co-worker went in and the two got into an argument.
The man grabbed the victim’s throat and pushed her against a table, police said.
Investigators said the woman was unable to breathe temporarily and reported pain in her throat but didn’t require medical attention.
Investigators say a 23-year-old from Guelph was arrested the next morning.
He’s been charged with assault causing bodily harm and will appear in court on May 31.
