An 85-year-old man and a 50-year-old man were rushed to hospital Sunday night after a knife fight in central Hamilton, police say.

The brawl broke out at the 85-year-old's house on Wellington Street South just before 8 p.m.

The older man was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries, police Const. Debbie McGreal-Dinning told CBC Hamilton. The 50-year-old was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

“Both are still in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,” McGreal-Dinning said.

The two men knew each other, she said, but wouldn’t elaborate on what their relationship was.

No charges have been laid in connection with the incident. McGreal-Dinning said even if the two men aren’t looking to press charges against each other, police still could do so because of the “seriousness of the assault.”

Police aren’t searching for any additional suspects.
