A Windsor man has been charged following a series of unprovoked attacks, including a stabbing.

As AM800 News reported on the weekend, police were called to the area of Aylmer Ave. and Assumption Saturday at 2:30pm for a stabbing.

Officers found a 71-year-old man suffering from a non-life threatening stab wound.  The victim pointed to the suspect believed responsible for the attack.

The senior had defended himself with a gardening tool.

The suspect approached police, but was acting aggressively and was extremely agitated.  

Officers used a taser to gain control.

Through the investigation, police learned two other random people, a 63-year-old parking lot attendant and a 50-year-old man, were also attacked within 15 minutes of each other — the 50-year-old victim was struck repeatedly with a lamp shade.

Jonathan Beck, 24, is charged with:

  •     two counts of assault with a weapon
  •     assault
  •     possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace
  •     unlawfully in a dwelling
  •     mischief/property damage under $5000
  •     three counts of breach probation
  •     breach recognizance
