A 47-year-old Hills man has been arrested following a stabbing that occurred at Laver Street, Mt Barker.

At about 1am on Wednesday last week a 40-year-old Two Wells man was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition after suffering a stab wound to his groin.

The victim’s injuries were deemed severe but not life-threatening.

SA Police charged a Mt Barker man with aggravated assault the same day, and he was bailed to appear at the Mt Barker Magistrates Court on February 22.

The people involved were known to each other.

Police are urging anyone who saw or heard any disturbance at Laver Street, near Hurling Drive, on Wednesday, January 18, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au.
