The Canadian Press, 31 Jul, 2015 10:45 AM

GRAND BEND, Ont. — Two stars of a former Canadian reality television show face charges in connection with a dispute in the southern Ontario community of Grand Bend.

Police say 65-year-old Mickey Rapaport faces a charge of assault with a weapon while 28-year-old Justin Rapaport is charged with obstructing a peace officer.

The father and son were stars of the show "Grand Benders" which aired on MTV Canada from 2012 to 2015, but is no longer in production.

The Ontario Provincial Police say the incident, which occurred on July 21, involved an argument over property and as a result it's alleged a person was struck with a blunt object.

Police say the person struck received medical attention at the scene and was later taken to hospital.

Police are not releasing the name of the injured person.

The two suspects are due to appear in court Aug. 31 to face the allegations against them.

A publicist for the show didn't have any statement from the pair.
