Officers from the OPP’s detachment in Renfrew were called to the scene of the alleged assault on Argyle Street South at around 11 p.m., where they found the victim, according to a statement issued by the detachment on Monday afternoon.

Renfrew paramedics took the injured man to a local hospital, and an Ornge transport later transferred him to Ottawa, according to provincial police.
