At 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 30th, the Halton Police received reports of a male acting suspiciously in the area of Clearview Woods Park. Reports said the male was approaching random people at the park.
While officers were searching for the male, it was reported that a man in his 60’s had been stabbed. The victim was found by police and taken to a trauma center with serious, non-life threatening injuries.
