The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating a stabbing incident in Tillsonburg.

On June 9, at approximately 3:26 a.m., members of the Oxford Detachment of the OPP, in coordination with Emergency Medical Services, responded to a report of a weapons-related occurrence at a residence in the Town of Tillsonburg.

Upon arrival, officers located one individual suffering from serious, non-life-threatening injuries consistent with being caused by an edged weapon. The individual was transported to a local hospital for treatment. A second individual present at the residence was taken into custody without incident and here is no threat to public safety.
