A 58-year-old Ontario man is facing charges under a new law against intimidating a health-care worker.

Ottawa police say there is a warrant out for the arrest of Louis Mertzelos in relation to threatening phone calls made to a health-care worker.

She says police told her about the charges this morning, stemming from multiple harassing phone calls she received in September. There are similar separate offences for harassment of politicians, judges, journalists and members of the clergy. Kaplan-Myrth says more than one person called to harass and intimidate her and her staff, and the man charged today is alleged to also have targeted her with antisemitic slurs.
