Five people arrested and charged in assault in Port Colborne

A Port Colborne man who was wanted in connection to a violent assault with four others has been arrested, Niagara police say.

Officers were called to a home in the area of Bell St. and Davis St. around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday for a report that a woman had been assaulted.

She was found and treated by paramedics for non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for further treatment.
