A Quebec man is facing an attempted murder charge following an effort to remove a family member from a group home in Halton Hills.
Police say a man went into a care home at Third Line and 32 Side Road just before 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and became involved in an altercation with an employee at the residence.
The worker received a stab wound in the exchange as the accused left the home with his family member in a vehicle.
That vehicle was then involved in a crash near 32 Side Road and Fourth Line, allowing officers to arrest the man, who attempted to flee the scene by walking away with their relative.
A care worker had to be transported to hospital with serious injuries while the family member, not injured, was safely returned to the home.
The Quebec man, 36, is also facing a break and enter charge and an offence for kidnapping in connection with the incident.
