A 19-year-old man is facing charges after an assault that left two London police officers with serious injuries.
Police were called about three vehicles being damaged by a man in the area of Adelaide Street North near Fanshawe Park Road shortly after 9 p.m. on Friday. After damaging the vehicles, the man reportedly went to a nearby convenience store and assaulted two staff members with items from inside the store.
Two officers arrived and while trying to arrest a man were assaulted.
The man is then alleged to have begun taking money from the store's cash register before additional officers arrived and placed him under arrest.
Two police officers suffered serious, non-life threatening injuries in the incident. The two store employees were not physically hurt, police said.
A 19-year-old London man has been charged with two counts of assaulting a peace officer causing bodily harm, three counts of mischief under $5,000, and one count each of robbery and resisting arrest.
The man remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in London court on Tuesday.
