A 32-year-old man is facing a number charges including aggravated assault and assaulting a peace officer, following an incident Monday morning in Prince Albert west flat neighbourhood.

At approximately 8:50 a.m., police were called to a residence in the 800 block of 17th Street West for a weapons complaint. The information provided was that a male had been stabbed.

The suspect fled the scene before police arrival; however, officers quickly located an injured male suffering from injuries consistent with a stabbing.

Shortly after, paramedics arrived on scene and transported the 20-year-old male victim to hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.

Upon further investigation, officers were able to obtain a description of the suspect and a male matching that description was located shortly after. An attempt was made to arrest the individual; however, the man resisted and a physical altercation occurred before the suspect began to flee on foot.
