A 22-year-old Peterborough man is facing several charges after an incident Monday evening.
At approximately 8:50pm on February 5, 2024, officers were called to the area of Monaghan Road and Romaine Street after a motorist called saying a pedestrian had walked out in front of their vehicle and then became aggressive toward the people in the vehicle.
