New West man is facing charges after he allegedly attacked someone last Friday.
New West police say officers were called to the 400 block of Eighth Street around 5 p.m. after receiving reports of an assault in progress.
When they arrived, they found two men at the scene, both New Westminster residents.
One had a laceration on his left arm and was taken to hospital, while the other man was arrested and taken into custody.
Investigators with the police department’s Major Crimes unit are still looking into the dispute, but it is believed the two men knew each other, noted a media release from New Westminster police.
The 41-year-old suspect appeared before a justice of peace at a bail hearing on Saturday and was released, according to Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department.
After the file was reviewed by Crown counsel earlier this week, the suspect, Shawn White-Bynoe, was officially charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of assault with a weapon.
He remains out on bail with several conditions. White-Bynoe is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 13, 2016, to consult counsel.
