August 20, 2025
An Ontario man involved in a violent encounter with an intruder in his own apartment has been charged with assaulting the wanted man.
Around 3:30 a.m. Monday, the 44-year-old homeowner was awoken to find an intruder inside his Kent Street apartment in Lindsay, Ont., according to Kawartha Lakes Police.
Police said the two had an “altercation,” during which the 41-year-old intruder suffered “serious life-threatening injuries.”
The Lindsay man, already wanted by police concerning unrelated events, was taken to Ross Memorial Hospital and later airlifted to a hospital in Toronto.
Once released from the hospital, he will face charges of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose; break, enter and theft; mischief under $5,000; and failing to comply with a probation order.
He’ll also be held in custody, pending a bail hearing.
The homeowner, meanwhile, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. He was released and is due back in court at a later date.
More to come.

Two proposed class-action lawsuits have been filed in the Quebec Superior Court in the wake of the Air Canada strike.
The aim of both lawsuits is to recoup compensation for the harms suffered by Air Canada passengers affected by flight disruptions that occurred around Thursday, Aug.14. The first takes aim at Air Canada. The second targets Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents the airline’s 10,000 flight attendants.
Courts must certify a proposed lawsuit as a class action before it can apply beyond the representative plaintiff named in the suit.
