Hamilton Police were called to the Bond St. N.-Norwood Rd. area for a street disturbance. Police alleged in a news release issued Thursday that a “large crowd of people were gathered around a car and trying to pull a woman from her vehicle.”
Police said the woman was allegedly assaulted and her phone was stolen.
Cops arrived and escorted the woman to safety.
During the investigation, it was discovered that the woman’s home had allegedly been broken into and her dog was stolen.

Police said the group had gathered to protest the death of a dog in the individual’s care. That incident and subsequent reports of animal abuse at the home are under investigation, police said, adding the provincial Animal Welfare Service is taking over that investigation as it’s the agency responsible for enforcing the Provincial Welfare Services Act.
The Hamilton Police forensics unit was on site Thursday to process evidence in the break-and-enter, police said.
The incident came amid allegations made on Facebook about a dog’s death at a pet daycare in the Westdale area.
Anyone who was in the area and has information on what took place on Wednesday is encouraged to call 905-546-3833. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or crimestoppershamilton.com.
Animal Welfare Service is asking anyone with information regarding Kippen Cares to call 1-833-926-4625.
