Niagara Regional Police say a “deteriorating” association between two neighbours led to a stabbing incident at a Welland multi-unit residential building on Tuesday afternoon.
Investigators say the occurrence was reported to police after the 20-year-old victim arrived at a hospital with a stab wound to his face.
It’s alleged the pair had an argument tied to a number of complaints including excessive noise at the property on Niagara Street and West Main Street.
