A 36-year-old man has been charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, four counts of drug trafficking and several other offences including three counts of failing to comply with a release order related to incidents in September and a traffic stop Thursday, police say.

“The victim sustained serious, non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the assault,” said police, in a news release.
“The accused and victim are known to each other.”
On Thursday, officers conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle and found the accused inside, said police.
