THUNDER BAY -- City police are investigating a stabbing that sent two men to the hospital Tuesday evening.

Officials with the Thunder Bay Police Service say officers responded to an assault on George Street just before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Officers at the scene found a 31-year-old man on the ground outside the Thunder Bay Shelter House. The man was bleeding from stab wounds.

A 34-year-old man was located inside the vestibule of the Shelter House and was also bleeding.

Police say the 34-year-old man was not co-operative with responding officers and was handcuffed as a result.

Paramedics brought both men to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.

The 34-year-old man was placed under arrest and escorted to the police station after being discharged from the hospital. He has been charged with aggravated assault  and breach of probation.

He was expected to make a court appearance Wednesday.

The 31-year-old man remains in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Both men involved in the incident were known to each other and police say alcohol was a factor in the incident.
