Police have arrested a 34-year-old man in connection to the aggravated assault of another man earlier in August in St. Catharines.

Officers responded to a welfare check on August 10, to the area of Merritt Street and Townline Road East where they found an injured man.

Emergency crews sent the man to hospital to treat his serious injuries.
