Serious Injuries Following Walpole Assault

A serious assault on Walpole Island has a Moravian First Nation man facing charges.

Provincial police were called to the Thunderbird Plaza around 2:30pm Sunday. Officers say a 35-year-old man punched another man in the face so hard that he suffered serious injury and was taken to hospital.

The injuries were so severe that police are still trying to determine if a weapon was used in the assault.

The accused is also charged with breaching probation and causing a disturbance.
