A 42-year-old Lindsay man is facing multiple charges after a stabbing Monday afternoon near Kent Street West and William Street North.
Kawartha Lakes Police say the incident happened around 4 p.m. when an argument between two men escalated into a physical confrontation. During the altercation, one man — who uses a wheelchair — was stabbed several times.
The victim was taken to Ross Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say the suspect fled the scene on foot and was found shortly after in a wooded area, where he was allegedly trying to change clothes. Officers recovered a folding-blade knife from the roof of a nearby building, where the suspect had reportedly discarded it.
The man has been charged with assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
