Guelph police say charges have been laid after a woman was allegedly attacked by her neighbour on Saturday.
Officers were called to an apartment building on Waterloo Avenue at around 3 a.m. for reports of a disturbance.
Police said two tenants were yelling in their unit when someone in the building banged on their door, likely in an attempt to quiet them.
“The female tenant believed her upstairs neighbour was the one who had been banging and went to confront her,” police said in a news release. “The female tenant yelled at her neighbour, accusing her of calling the police.”
