A 22-year-old man was arrested by Yellowknife RCMP late Friday evening after police say he assaulted another man.

Karl James Gardlund, of Yellowknife, was charged with aggravated assault after officers responded to a call for service at a downtown residence.

A 23-year-old Whitehorse man was assaulted outside of the residence and required medical attention at Stanton Territorial Hospital after sustaining “serious injuries,” a RCMP news release stated Monday.

The man was later transported to Edmonton via air ambulance for further treatment.

Gardlund was released on a recognizance and is due back in court on April 24.

RCMP stated an investigation into the assault continues.
