A man walks into a North Bay police station and assaults an officer

A North Bay man was arrested early Monday morning after he entered police headquarters and assaulted a police officer.

On June 17, around 1 a.m., a man arrived at the North Bay Police Service headquarters on Princess Street West and began forcibly kicking the locked front doors.

The sliding doors broke from their casing and the intruder pushed through and entered the police headquarters.

Three officers caught him before he could enter the front hall through a second set of doors. The man attacked one of the officers before being tasered, subdued and taken to the cell block area, where he was detained pending a bail hearing.

Danny Stead, 35, of North Bay is charged with breaking and entering and committing an assault.
