A Peterborough, Ont., man wanted on warrants is facing several new charges following an altercation with officers early Saturday.
Peterborough police say around 12:25 a.m., officers on general patrol in the area of George and King street spotted the man wanted on warrants running from the area. Officers followed and arrested him a short distance away.
Police say officers informed the man he was under arrest on outstanding warrants for uttering threats, dangerous driving, stunt driving, and failing to comply with a release order. Police allege the man resisted arrest and struck officers as he was taken into custody.
The 28-year-old man was arrested on the warrants and additionally charged with assault with intent to resist arrest and failure to comply with a release order.
He was held in custody and appeared in court later Saturday, police said.
