One person was injured, and a suspect is facing multiple charges after an alleged assault incident at an apartment complex in Midland on Friday.

According to Southern Georgian Bay OPP, officers responded to the King Street apartment complex at around 4 p.m. following a complaint by a woman saying that she was stabbed during a dispute with another person.

Police say the victim was located and tended to by Simcoe County Paramedics before getting transported to hospital for her injuries, which are reportedly not believed to be serious.

Shortly after they began investigating the incident, officers were reportedly able to locate the suspect in an apartment in the complex and arrest them. Police say the suspect was bound by a release order with conditions following charges for a previous incident in the summer of 2024.

A 26-year-old from Midland was charged with assault with a weapon, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and failure to comply with a release order.

The accused was reportedly held in custody and was scheduled for multiple court dates.
