A 21-year-old New Brunswicker is facing weapons charges after an assault in Shippigan earlier this week.
RCMP say that around 11 p.m. on Tuesday, an assault occurred outside of a restaurant on J-D Gauthier Boulevard.
“Upon arriving at the scene, police located two victims suffering from stab wounds,” read the release.
One of the victims was a 41-year-old man who was taken to the hospital with what police call “serious but non-life threatening injuries,” while a second victim, also a 41-year-old man, sustained minor injuries.
Later that evening, police identified and arrested a suspect, a 21-year-old man from Six Roads, N.B.
The next day, Jason Wayne Mcmahon appeared in court and was charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
He is set to return to court on Aug. 22 to face the charges.
