Stabbing in North Bay leads to attempted murder charge

North Bay Police say a man is expected to survive a knifing in the community after being stabbed repeatedly.

His 30-year-old attacker, who is a resident of North Bay, is charged with attempted murder.

Police say the pair know each other and were in the apartment of the accused Saturday night when a fight broke out.

They say the accused first hit the victim many times then began stabbing him repeatedly with a large kitchen knife.

A nearby tenant heard the commotion and called police.

While police were on their way, the victim managed to escape and got himself to the emergency ward at the North Bay Regional Health Centre.

Once police were on the scene, they arrested the accused and charged him.

The investigation continues.
