Teenaged assault
One teen faces charges after police say officers spotted him punching another in the face repeatedly Thursday evening in broad daylight.

Once they flipped on their lights, they were soon greeted by the view of one person atop another, repeatedly punching the latter person in the face, police say.
Officers intervened immediately and arrested the accused.
A 17-year-old Chatham lad is charged with assault.

Mischief on Wellington
Not only was a man not wanted at a specific location, police say he was under court orders to stay away.
On top of that, police say he defaced the building in question on Wellington Street.
This all happened Thursday afternoon, about 3:40 p.m.
Officers learned a man had defaced the building, and that he was in break of a court order to not be within 100 metres of the building.
As a result, a 39-year-old Chatham man is charged with mischief and failing to comply.
