Police on Sunday arrested a 60-year-old New Canaan man following a dispute at his Old Kings Highway home.
At about 5:26 p.m. on Nov. 12, officers investigated a dispute between two occupants of the residence, according to a police report.
They charged the man with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
It isn’t clear what the dispute involved, how it turned physical, whether or to what extent anyone was hurt or whether or how the arrested man is related to the victim.
Police withheld further information, classifying the matter as a domestic incident.
