Man Injured in North Middlesex Assault

A man is hospitalised, and another charged following a fight in North Middlesex.

Middlesex County OPP says it happened around 8:30am Saturday. Officers responded to a report of a fight at a rural property on McGuffin Hills Dr.

Police say an 18-year-old man forced his way into the home and assaulted the resident.

The victim, a 54-year-old-man, was taken to hospital where he was treated for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

The man who entered the house was charged with break-and-enter and aggravated assault.

Police say the two were known to each other and were involved in an earlier incident. No details on that have been released.

The accused is being held and is due to appear in London court on Sunday.

The OPP's Middlesex County Crime Unit and Forensic Investigation Unit are still looking into the matter. Anyone with information is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or their local police.
