An altercation that saw one man stabbed twice with a broken beer bottle in a southwest plaza parking lot Sunday (Aug. 9), has another man facing assault charges.

Police responded to a report of a stabbing at 850 Wharncliffe Rd., S. at 12:30 a.m., and upon arrival officers located a 26-year-old man with two minor stab wounds.

An investigation at the scene found the victim had been involved in an "altercation" with another male, 23, during which the suspect broke a beer bottle and stabbed the victim twice.

"The victim was transported to hospital where he remains in stable condition, being treated for two stab wounds," police said.

Richard Christopher Coughlan, 23, is charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of failing to comply with a recognizance.
