Around 10:15 a.m., officers were called to a residence at Stewart and Wolfe streets for reports of a man suffering from a stab wound.

Police say officers located a male who was transported to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre with non-life threatening injuries.

The residence remains cordoned off as police investigate.

“There is no immediate threat to public safety,” police stated at 12:20 p.m.

Witness Cynthia Armstrong who lives nearby said she heard screams and went outside. She said she saw a man bleeding from his stomach and leg and a woman next to him yelling for help.

“So I went over and looked at him and there’s a big gash,” she said. “So I put my hand up against his stomach to hold the bleeding because it was a good puncture wound. It was pouring out.”

No word yet on what charges may be pending.
