On May 15, 2014 at 5:30 p.m., the Guelph Police went to the Cardigan Street area to investigate an assault complaint. It is alleged that a male was driving on Cardigan Street and honked at a male pedestrian that was walking down the middle of the road. The driver then parked at his apartment building. The pedestrian approached him while he was still in his car and punched him in the face. The assaultive male then walked away. A short time later, this male returned and kicked the car, denting it. The driver called police while the male started jumping on the hood of his car further damaging it. Police arrested the male nearby.
