A 59-year-old Lakeshore man is facing charges after he allegedly entered a residence in Comber illegally, then became violent when confronted about it.
The incident happened at a home on Taylor Avenue on Monday around 4 p.m.
According to OPP, the female homeowner was in the residence with her children when the suspect walked in.
Upon seeing the occupants, the man immediately left the residence and rode away on a bicycle.
Later that evening, the homeowner was outside when she saw the man again. Recognizing him, she confronted him and told him that she was contacting police.
The suspect struck the woman with his bicycle and punched her in the arm, then fled.
OPP investigated and were able to identify the man with the help of security camera recordings.
Kevin Azzopardi, 59, was arrested and charged with being unlawfully in a dwelling and assault with a weapon. He’s scheduled to appear in court in July.
