KENTVILLE, N.S. —

A Kings County teenager is facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault after a knife attack Monday night.

RCMP say they were called to a home in Cambridge at 9:20 p.m. after a man was stabbed.

They arrested the 15-year-old suspect at the home and assisted the victim, who was taken to hospital with injuries police described as serious but not life-threatening.

The teen is also facing charges of assault, uttering threats and breach of a court order.

It's believed the victim and accused are known to one another, and that the breach charges relate to previous alleged offences in which the man was also the victim.

The accused was held in custody overnight and dropped off at Kentville court by RCMP Tuesday morning.

He appeared in court briefly to be arraigned on the charges.

The Crown is opposed to the teen's release. He is being held in custody until a bail heaing Thursday.
