A youth is facing several charges in relation to a stabbing in Natuashish last week.

In a statement Monday, RCMP said officers responded to a stabbing at a home on the morning of Oct. 31 and found a 25-year-old victim suffered several puncture wounds to his upper body.

He also received other injuries as a result of being hit by a blunt object.

A youth from Natuashish was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and four counts of breaching court orders.

The youth has been held in custody and will appear in court at a later date.
