Police in Niagara Falls have charged a man with assault after he allegedly stabbed another man in a disturbance on Monday night.
Investigators say the incident happened before 7 p.m. near a motel in the area of Dunn Street and Stanley Avenue.
Officers responding to the disturbance call say they encountered a man with a stab wound who appeared to have been involved in an incident with another man and a woman.
The victim, 50, was airlifted to a Hamilton hospital for serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while a woman, 36, was sent to a local hospital with minor injuries.
A 38-year-old man was arrested on scene and is now facing four charges including aggravated assault.
