Arrest after knife attack

An Oshawa man is facing several charges after two men were attacked with a knife over the weekend.

Officers responded to an assault on Cherryhill Street at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 21. According to police, a fight outside of a house party led to one male being slashed with a knife, while another was stabbed. A male suspect fled the scene prior to police arriving on scene, but was later tracked down to a wooded area near Bloor Street East and Grandview Street by the DRPS K-9 Unit. He was arrested without incident.

The victim who was slashed, a 20-year-old male, was taken to hospital for his injuries. The stabbing victim, who was located by officers a distance away from the scene, was taken to hospital before being transferred to a Toronto trauma centre for a serious but non-life threatening injury.

A 27-year-old male of Highland Avenue in Oshawa has been charged with aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm and possession of a weapon.
