London police have pressed charges against a man who allegedly caused a disturbance near the downtown area Sunday evening.

According to police, officers responded to an altercation between two men at around 6:20 p.m. near the area of Beaufort and Irwin streets, just north of Oxford Street West and west of Wharncliffe Road North.

Police learned the suspect had attempted to assault another man with a bike chain and a pole. The accused had left the scene before police arrived.

A description of the suspect was provided to officers and he was located a short time later.
