A man is facing assault charges for allegedly injuring an intruder at his home in Lindsay, Ont., according to local police.
The Kawartha Lakes Police Service says it responded to a call on Kent Street at about 3:20 a.m. on Monday.
According to police, the resident had woken up to find an intruder inside his apartment. The two had an "altercation" and the intruder suffered life-threatening injuries, police say, and was later airlifted to a Toronto hospital.
Police say the resident is facing charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
The alleged intruder, 41, is also facing charges, including breaking and entering and possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes. Police say the man was also already wanted for unrelated offences.
Investigators did not provide any other information about the case.
In response to a request for an interview from CBC News, acting Staff Sgt. Brendan Johnston said that police have "released all of the information that we are going to release at this time with regards to this investigation."
What a Country, NOT!
Anarcho-Tyranny at work to exterminate civilization.
“..What a Country, NOT!...”
Yep...without a doubt.
Definitely do NOT call the police.
It’s a shoot, shovel and shutup situation.
It seems the solution needs to be
1). Detect the problem
2). Solve the problem
3). Go to bed and “forget” about the problem
4). Get up and report the room temperatures “discovery” in the morning
5). Explain you just woke up and have no recollection of the “discovery”, and that the situation shouldn’t be in your home in the first place
Let the cops work from there
Life threatening injuries means the homeowner didnt do a thorough job.
What a misdirected Country.
“Sir, just because this gentleman was in your living room at 2AM without your permission and refused to leave, you do not have the right to assault him.”
I am officially not moving to Canada. Ever.
Someone breaks into an occupied dwelling deserves every thing the occupant can unload on them.
To the people who want to cry big, fat salt tears over the thief, dry up sobby. He/She or It got what they had coming.
Wow!
Homeowner should have helped intruder out the door and into the middle of the street and gone back to bed. No more call the cops in Canada.
Seems like vigilante is the only way, more and more.
I wake up with an intruder and my Kimber will say hello
Your property is not your property. Your home is not your home.
Anarcho-tyranny on full display.
Canada is evil.
and Trump is the a##hole for suggesting Canada become a State...
Attention Canadians, your leaders remind you that you have a duty to die.
Shoot, Shovel , and Shut Up
Ontario is such a lovely cesspool.
