A 51-year-old man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries today and the man who reportedly stabbed him has yet to be located.
At around 11:55 p.m. on July 7, a seriously injured man in the area of Frood Road and Jean Street flagged down a passing police cruiser.
“The man explained that he had been involved in an altercation with another man while inside a residence on Frood Road and as a result of the altercation he had stabbed,” Greater Sudbury Police said this morning.
The officer contacted paramedics who transported the 51-year-old to Health Sciences North
with serious, life-threatening injuries.
The Emergency Response Unit was dispatched to the area to search for the man who stabbed him and to ensure no one else at the site of the altercation was injured.
“While in the area of Jean Street and Burton Avenue, officers were approached by another man who advised that he was inside the residence at the time of the incident and that he was also physically assaulted by the same person,” police said. “The 54-year-old man sustained minor injuries as a result of the altercation.”
He also told the officers the man responsible had fled the neighbourhood before GSPS arrived.
“This is believed to be a targeted incident as the individuals involved are known to each other.”
The man police allege is responsible for the assaults is described as standing 6-3 and weighting around 160 lbs. with a slim build, dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing bright clothing at the time of the incident.
