Ontario Police, Firefighters Intervene After Fight Breaks Out Over Earth's Shape

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Jun, 2016 12:24 PM
    BROCKTON, Ont. — Police and firefighters were called in after a heated discussion over the shape of the Earth reached fiery levels in eastern Ontario.
     
    Police in Brockville say they were called to St. Lawrence Park on Monday after an intense argument between family members.
     
    They say a woman who insisted the Earth was flat was locking horns with her boyfriend's father, who argued it is round.
     
    Investigators say the 56-year-old man grew so enraged that he started throwing things into their camp fire, including a propane cylinder.
     
    Firefighters were called to put out the flames.
     
    Police say the man took off and will face a mischief charge.
     
    They say "neither party would change their views."
