Two people were arrested and three others injured after what might be described as a melee at an area home Jan. 8.

Greater Sudbury Police say they were asked to respond to an assault at the home just before 11:30 p.m. that evening. The information provided was that the homeowner had two individuals subdued, and medical attention was required for multiple people in the home.

When officers arrived on scene, they found that the home owner was indeed holding down the two individuals allegedly responsible for the attack.

Through their investigation, officers determined a verbal argument took place between two people in the residence, leading to a 21-year-old man shoving a teenage girl and then punching her in the face.

The homeowner stepped in to intervene, and the young man proceeded to punch him in the face as well.

While the two men were struggling, a youth within the home attempted to assist the homeowner, and he was hit in the head with a glass bottle, causing a wound that required medical attention.

The young man then used the broken bottle to strike the homeowner in the face, causing a wound that also required medical attention.

While the homeowner and the young man continued to struggle, a 20-year-old woman began to kick the homeowner. The homeowner eventually managed to hold down both individuals until police arrived.

The homeowner — a 44-year-old man — and the youth struck by the bottle were transported to hospital by paramedics, where they were treated for minor injuries.

The teenage girl that was originally assaulted was assessed on scene, but did not require further medical attention.

The 21-year-old man has been charged with the following under the Criminal Code of Canada;
