Things turned violent and police were called.

While the extent of the victim’s injuries haven’t been released, authorities say the man had to be air-lifted to hospital in London for treatment.

The suspect was captured on video surveillance, and was taken into custody a few hours later charged with assault and assault causing bodily harm.
