Police learned the suspect had earlier that day attempted to leave the business without paying for items but the store manager intervened and retrieved the items.

However, an hour later the suspect returned, demanding the items be given back to him.

“When he was told ‘no,’ he became aggressive and bit the manager on the hand,” police said.

A 34-year-old Peterborough man was arrested and charged with assault and theft under $5,000.

He was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court in Peterborough on July 25.
