The victim was found with cuts to his hand and his legs. He was taken to Guelph General Hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the attack happened just after 8 a.m. and it only took officers a few minutes to make an arrest after the suspect was spotted walking.
After he was taken into custody, police said they found a knife on him.
A Guelph man has been charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and breaching his probation.
The accused, who was not identified by police, was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
