Saskatoon police say it began as a call about a home invasion, but ended with a man being stabbed and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

In a news release, police said the call came in from an apartment building in the 800 block of Appleby Drive in the city's Meadow Green neighbourhood just after midnight CST.

Police thought they were being called to thwart a home invasion. What they found was a stabbing, with no victim on the scene. Police eventually tracked down the 33-year-old victim across the street. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Another 33-year-old, meanwhile, was arrested at the scene and charged with aggravated assault. He was also wanted on outstanding warrants.

The suspect appeared in court today.
