A 25 year old Altona man has been remanded into custody after an early morning stabbing in Altona.
Altona police responded to an apartment complex in the northeast corner of town around 3 a.m. after receiving multiple calls regarding a disturbance.
Upon entering the apartment, a 49 year old male with multiple stab wounds was found. The 25 year old suspect fled the scene before police arrived, but was later arrested without incident, several blocks away. Both the victim and accused are known to each other.
The victim was transferred to the Boundary Trails Health Centre in stable condition, and was later released.
The 25 year old male is facing charges of Assault with a Weapon, Aggravated Assault, Forcible Entry, Uttering Threats to Kill, Cause a Disturbance and several counts of Fail to Comply with a Probation Order.
The investigation is still ongoing, but it was noted in a news release issued Saturday afternoon there is no threat to the public.
