A 35-year-old London man is facing charges in connection with a stabbing Thursday at an east end pharmacy.<\/p>\n
The province’s police watchdog is also investigating after the accused was injured while at London police headquarters following the alleged assault of a special constable, police said.<\/p>\n
It all began around 3 p.m. when police say the accused entered a pharmacy in the 100-block of Clarke Road, near Clarke and Trafalgar Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police allege he approached a staff member, produced a knife, and uttered threats, and then walked to another area of the store where he stabbed a man\u00a0multiple times.<\/p>\n
The man was not known to the accused, and was taken to hospital for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Police say the accused left the store, and was found and arrested a short distance away with a knife in his possession.<\/p>\n
At the London police detention centre, police allege the accused assaulted a special constable, and was injured “as a result of the interaction with police,” causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Police say the accused has since been discharged, and the special constable was not physically hurt.<\/p>\n
The Special Investigations Unit has invoked its mandate. The agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CBC News.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old is due in court on Oct. 22 for charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats of death or bodily harm, breach of probation, and assaulting a peace officer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 35-year-old London man is facing charges in connection with a stabbing Thursday at an east end pharmacy.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":474209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-474208","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115317512820769247","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=474208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/474209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=474208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=474208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
