Greater Sudbury Police are searching for a man accused in a violent home invasion in Greater Sudbury’s West End Sunday morning.

Police say they were called out to the incident on Ontario Street at 7:45 a.m. Aug. 8.

Officers arrived on scene and located a 34-year-old man who had sustained what is believed to be a serious stab wound.

A second man, a 31-year-old man, was also located inside that residence with a minor injury as a result of the altercation. Both men were transported to hospital by City of Greater Sudbury Paramedic Services.

Officers were told a lone man unlawfully entered the residence and assaulted the two men inside. The man fled the scene prior to police arrival. 

The suspect is described as being white with medium length brown hair. Police do not have any further descriptors at this time.

Detectives have been canvassing the area for information along with any video surveillance footage in the area.

This is believed to be a targeted and isolated incident, and police do not believe there to be any risk to the general public.

The scene is being held as detectives from the Major Crime Section of the GSPS Criminal Investigation Division are applying for a Search Warrant for the residence.

Anyone with information related to this incident or the involved individual is asked to call us at 705-675-9171 or Crime Stoppers at 705-222-8477.
