A London man is facing charges of assaulting police officers after an incident in the east end of the city on Thursday evening.
At around 8:00 p.m., he entered a residential building in the 500-block of Clarke Road and became involved in a physical altercation with another person entering the building.
Police were contacted by witnesses, and while attempting to take the man into custody, he spat in their direction and resisted arrest.
