Police say around 1:15 a.m. they were called to a home on Ferndale Street, near Lakewood Drive, after reports of a stabbing. When officers arrived, they found the 27-year-old suffering from a serious stab wound to the head. He was taken to hospital in stable condition.

After speaking with the man and other occupants of the home, police say it appears they were victims of a random home invasion.

Police were able to locate the suspect around 2 a.m. in the area of East Pender Street and Garden Drive. When they attempted to speak to him, he ran but a police K9 unit was used to track his movement. He was arrested a short time later in the area of Garden Drive and Triumph Street. He suffered a minor injury and was taken to hospital for treatment.
