Collingwood & The Blue Mountains OPP, with the help of Huronia West OPP arrived at the location and set up containment and, about an hour later, arrested the suspect with the assistance of the OPP Emergency Response Team, canine unit and OPP Aviation Services.
The victim was treated at a local hospital for minor non life-threatening injuries.
