Ottawa Police needed a taser to take down one Ottawa man after they came upon a physical confrontation yesterday.
Around 2 p.m., officers approached two men pushing each other in the area of Montreal Road and Begin Street - one of them, holding a baseball bat.
Police say the man wielding the weapon became aggressive towards the officers and spat blood at them - forcing them to use a taser.
29-year-old Guillaume Michaud is charged with one count of assault with intent to resist arrest, one count of assaulting an officer, and one count of possession of a weapon.
Police say one officer suffered minor injuries when he was kicked by Michaud.
