Hamilton police have charged a man with aggravated assault following a stabbing at Woodlands Park last month that left a 37-year-old man in critical condition.

Officers arrived around 12 p.m. on July 15 to an encampment in the park, where they found a man without vital signs.

Paramedics transported the man to hospital to undergo emergency surgery. Police say he has since been released.

On Thursday, investigators saw the suspect get out of a vehicle around 9 p.m. in the area of Sanford Avenue North and Cannon Street East. Mark Ribson, 62, was then arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Det. Const. Robert Booker at 905-546-3818.
