A 51-year-old man fled from a home after a stabbing in Maisonette, N.B., on Sunday.
RCMP say that an 18-year-old man has been charged with aggravated assault and mischief in connection with the incident.
Police say that officers were called to a residence on Chaleur Street shortly after 1 a.m., and found a 51-year-old man who had suffered stab wounds.
The 51-year-old was able to leave the building and was transported to the hospital with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect, who initially refused to cooperate with police, eventually came out of the home and was arrested two hours after police arrived.
Louis Remi Cormier appeared before a judge by way of a tele-remand and was charged with aggravated assault.
He was remanded into custody pending a bail hearing on Sept. 14.
An additional charge of mischief was laid in Caraquet Provincial Court. He was sent for a 30-day psychiatric assessment and is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 9.
Police say their investigation is ongoing.
