Guelph police say a man was arrested after another was allegedly “punched in the face” over a debt on Tuesday morning.
In a release, they say the victim was headed out the door of an apartment building on Carden Street when he was confronted by a man seeking payback for a debt.
The victim was threatened before being punched in the head, according to police, who say he declined medical treatment.
They say the officers tracked a suspect down in the area a short time later and placed him under arrest.
During the search, police say officers found a BB gun, suspected oxycodone, a functioning scale and other drug paraphernalia.
A 36-year-old man from Guelph is facing a number of charges including assault, uttering death threats, carrying a concealed weapon, possession for the purpose of trafficking and two counts of breaching court orders.
