A Guelph man is facing assault and weapons charges after police say another man was stabbed in the leg at a north-end apartment Tuesday.
According to Guelph police, a group of people were inside an apartment near Woolwich Street and Speedvale Avenue around 6:15 p.m. when an argument broke out between two men who hadn't met before.
Police said the argument turned physical when one man in his 40s was stabbed in the leg.
The suspect left the apartment but was later located in the area with help from a Waterloo Regional Police Service canine unit.
'The knife was also recovered after being thrown into a neighbouring yard,' Guelph police said in a news release.
Police said the man is on probation with terms including not to attend the address where the assault occurred, not to have contact with a woman who was also present and not to possess weapons.
A 24-year-old man is charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and five counts of breaching probation orders.
