"Crown attorneys are reviewing assault charges laid by police against a Lindsay, Ont., man accused of attacking a home invader last month after an overnight break-in. A prosecutor on Thursday told Ontario Court of Justice in Lindsay part of the city of Kawartha Lakes the Crown is reviewing evidence and still needs to "make its determinations about how the matter will proceed.""
"Kawartha Lakes police said they were called to an apartment at 3:20 a.m. ET on Aug. 18 after the tenant awoke to find an intruder in his home and a fight broke out. According to court documents, Jeremy David McDonald, 44, wielded a knife and "did endanger the life" of the alleged intruder, Michael Kyle Breen, who was armed with a crossbow. Investigators said Breen, 41, sustained life-threatening injuries in the encounter and had to be airlifted to a Toronto hospital 100 kilometres away for treatment."
