RCMP say a homeowner on Rosedale Road answered their door to find a 43-year-old man covered in blood. They provided first aid and and called paramedics, who arrived and treated the man for multiple stab wounds.

Police went to a home nearby and arrested a 31-year-old man for assault with a weapon. He also had also been stabbed. Both men were taken to hospital and later released.
