Police say the two men are known to each other, and it is believed that the attack occurred as a result of a long-standing disagreement between the two.

Following an investigation, police arrested Philip Lachance, age 37, of Lighthouse Road, Callander with one count of assault with a weapon and one count of break and enter.

Lachance was held in custody for a bail hearing.

The motorcycle is black with a red seat. It had no license plate at the time of the theft.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact police at 705-497-5555 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
