A dispute between bickering roommates has led to charges for a Guelph man.

The Guelph Police Service was called to a home on Saturday.

Investigators say two men were at a business on Paisley Road earlier that day when an argument ensued over rent money.

They say one of the men punched the other in the face and then left the store.

Investigators say the argument resumed at home, where the same man took a small baseball bat and swung at the other man.

They say the bat didn’t make any contact but the victim was later treated by paramedics for facial swelling and a possible concussion.
