Charges have been laid following an attempted stabbing in downtown Guelph.
Police say the incident occurred on Sunday, Nov. 10, at around 12:40 a.m. when the force received calls of a disturbance. When officers arrived, they found a man in his 30s who was attacked by another man and allegedly stabbed in the neck with a knife.
The victim was taken to a Hamilton trauma centre for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Police add that the two men in question were known to each other, with the attack said to be unprovoked.
A 33-year-old Guelph man has now been charged with attempted murder, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a weapon, and carrying a concealed weapon. He was held for a bail hearing Sunday and remains in custody.
A court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 13.
