A couple of strange incidents in Chatham yesterday, one where a man got into a women’s apartment and exposed himself, and the other out on the street where three apparent bullies attacked a 12-year-old kid.
In the first instance, police say a man got into a woman’s apartment uninvited and asked if he could use her washroom.
But while in the apartment, he sat down on the couch and placed a couple of kitchen knives on the table, then pulled down his pants and touched the woman inappropriately.
The woman was able to get the guy out of her apartment, police say, and called 911.
Officers found the man a short time later and made the arrest.
A 36-year-old Chatham man faces numerous charges.
Police believe the suspect was quite high at the time of the break-in, assault, exposure, etc.
