A Belleville man has been charged after a domestic dispute in Belleville’s east end.
Belleville police responded to a residence at 8:28 p.m. on Tuesday.
It was reported to police that a female was screaming and a neighbour let the female and her child inside their home for safety.
When officers spoke with the female, she reported that a verbal argument with her partner had escalated into a physical assault, where her partner threw her to the ground, grabbed her by the neck and struck her head against the ground several times.
Police say when she attempted to leave the residence, she was initially stopped but eventually managed to leave with her child.
Further investigation revealed that the male was in breach of a probation order prohibiting him from contacting the female and requiring him to keep the peace and be of good behaviour.
As a result of the investigation, officers located, arrested and charged a 24-year-old Belleville man with the following:
- Assault
- Forcible confinement
- Fail to comply with probation order x2
He was held for a bail hearing.
