A dispute between neighbours in Brockville, Ont., turned stinky last week when two women began hurling dog feces at each other, police say.

On Aug. 11 at around 6:45 p.m., officers with the Brockville Police Service were called to a pair of homes in the east-central part of the city.

One of the women was picking up dog feces from her yard and throwing it into her neighbour's yard, as she believed it was her neighbour's pet who was responsible for the mess, police said.

The neighbour responded by picking up the flung feces and "throwing handfuls" back at the first woman, police said.

The dispute then turned physical, said police, as the two neighbours grabbed hold of each other.

The officers on scene urged the two neighbours to keep their distance, police said. No charges were laid.
