Police have arrested a 46-year-old Guelph man after a woman said she found a hidden camera and was hit with a bat several times.

Guelph police were called last Thursday regarding an incident that had taken place in a Speedvale Avenue West home.

A woman told police she had been staying with an acquaintance for a few days when she noticed a camera in the room where she was changing her clothes.

She said she confronted the homeowner and she was hit with a bat several times after a fight broke out. She told police her phone was also broken during the fight.

She was taken to hospital for treatment. Her injuries included a broken hand.

 The man has been charged with assault causing bodily harm, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, mischief, and voyeurism.
