Upon arrival, officers located a 41-year-old man who  had been assaulted. The man was taken to hospital with  non life-threatening injuries. Shortly after locating the victim, officers arrested a 34-year-old man who had also been injured. He  was taken to hospital for treatment and  then released back into police custody. The subsequent investigation  resulted in  the 41-year-old man facing charges of assault and the 34-year-old man facing charges of  assault causing bodily harm. Both men will appear in court at a later date.
