The Chatham-Kent police have arrested a man in connection with a disturbance earlier this week in Wallaceburg.

A 19 year-old Walpole Island man was transported to the Sydenham District Hospital with life threatening head injuries. He has since been transferred to a hospital in London where he remains in critical condition.
This morning, a 20 year-old Walpole Island man was arrested. He has been charged with attempt murder. He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.
