According to further investigation, the victim was asleep when the two suspects arrived at his home and went into his bedroom where one person started hitting him with an aluminum bat.

The victim’s son woke up and tried to intervene, but investigators said one of the men pulled out a knife and held it to him.

Police said the victim suffered two broken arms and a fractured leg, needing several surgeries.

A 40-year-old from Guelph was found downtown a week after the incident.

Then on early Sunday morning, a 58-year-old from Guelph was found and arrested.
