Two separate investigations into an assault with a weapon at the same multi-unit residential facility resulted in a significant police presence in the area of Gorge Road East on Monday.
At approximately 2:30 a.m. on Monday, April 25th, officers responded to a report of a victim of an assault with a weapon at a multi-unit residential building in the 200-block of Gorge Road East.
The victim was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers identified another person involved in the incident, locating him a short time later at the scene. He was also transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries sustained during the incident.
