A 47-year-old man has been charged after a man was reportedly assaulted at the Rotary Place in Orillia on Friday night, OPP say.

Shortly after 10 p.m., officers responded to a call where they found a man bleeding as a result of an altercation, police say.

Police say the victim was assaulted after a verbal dispute and that a subsequent investigation formed grounds to charge a suspect.

Dwayne Palomaki, 47, now faces charges of assault causing bodily harm.

Palomaki was arrested on Saturday and released on a promise to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice on July 23, OPP say.
