A man in his 70s has a minor injury after Guelph police say he was assaulted in a parking lot.

A teenager came back a short time later and took off his belt and reportedly whipped the man twice.

The victim has a minor injury to his arm but turned down medical treatment.

Police said a 17-year-old boy was found nearby and arrested.

He was held for a bail hearing on Tuesday.
