Authorities arrived at a home on Tuesday morning near London Road and Dufferin Street after one man reported he was assaulted by his brother.
Police said an officer tried to speak with a man before he lunged at him, causing the officer to fall backwards.
The man allegedly grabbed the officer’s stun gun to try and disarm him but he was unsuccessful, police said.
