A man has been charged with aggravated assault after somebody was attacked in Stephenville and left with life-threatening injuries.

Patrolling RCMP officers were flagged down just before 9:30 p.m. by someone concerned about a disturbance on nearby Holland Crescent.

Officers located a victim, who was rushed to hospital.

A suspect, identified as 27-year-old Christopher Mooney, was arrested at the scene.

He has been charged with aggravated assault in relation to that incident, and has also been charged with breaking and entering, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and causing mischief to property following a separate incident earlier in the day.

Mooney has made a first court appearance.
