A 25-year-old northern Ontario man is accused of assaulting and robbing someone with a knife in Kirkland Lake earlier this month.
Officers were called to a robbery on Tweedsmuir Road around 6 p.m. Oct. 19, Ontario Provincial Police said in a news release Tuesday morning.
"The caller witnessed a person brandish a knife towards the victim, and then assault the victim," OPP said.
"Before departing on foot, the accused person had taken belongings of the victim."

The suspect remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 6.
