A 22-year-old Peterborough man is facing a number of charges after a domestic incident that took place on Saturday.
Police responded to a disturbance call at an apartment building located in the area of McDonnel and Stewart Streets at around 11:30 am, and upon arrival, officers discovered that a woman had been chased by a man and struck in the head with a bat. The man then returned to their apartment while the woman left the area.
Officers attempted to arrest the suspect at his apartment, but he refused to come out, leading to a partial evacuation of the building as a precaution.
About three and a half hours later, the suspect exited the apartment and was taken into custody without incident.
Later in the day, officers obtained a warrant to search the apartment, where they seized several items, including a long gun, a paintball gun, several BB guns, and a baseball bat.
