An Ottawa man has been charged with using an imitation firearm while committing an indictable offence after an altercation that took place in the early morning hours of May 6.
Police responded to the intersection of Elgin and Frank streets where a man had started quarreling with a group of males. The confrontation, according to police, began as a verbal dispute, but soon turned physical.
