A man from Dundas in Ontario, Canada, is facing assault charges for
hurling a fish, among other things, at another person on Friday night.
Police were first called to a home just before 7pm, after hearing of an
ongoing disturbance where someone "was reported to have thrown a fish
and other property" at another person inside the house.
The 911 caller indicated the situation was "escalating out of control,"
police say. When officers got there, they were met by a man who
"immediately began yelling and screaming vulgarities towards them."
"It was an already dead fish that was obtained and thrown at an
individual," Constable Steve Welton said.
"He was certainly intent on causing damages and injuries to others." The man was identified as the person who had been wielding a fish as a weapon, and was arrested. But things further escalated, police say, when a woman inside the home saw the arrest happening and ran out of the home.
She allegedly attacked the officer by punching him in the back of the head, police say. The woman was then also promptly arrested. A 27-year-old man is facing assault with a weapon and mischief charges, while a 22-year-old Dundas woman is charged with assaulting a police officer.
