A tenant assisted the injured man and told police the victim was heard yelling for help from an apartment downstairs.

“The male had entered the apartment asking for assistance by the two people inside, he had obvious signs of injuries and needed medical attention,” Const. Lorraine Edwards told Global News.

The man was then transported to the hospital with serious injuries.
