Two arrested after clash with police officers

Two men were arrested after clashing with officers who were responded to a disturbance call in Wallaceburg on Friday afternoon, said Chatham-Kent police.

Officers arrived at a Water Street address and found a man in distress and while attempting to help him, police said the man tried to barricade himself in a room inside the home.

Officers were assaulted when trying to intervene and the man also resisted arrest, police said.

The man was also found to be wanted on an outstanding warrant for mischief, police said.
