Late night fishing at the Suncor Docks leads to a knife being pulled, assault with a weapon charges laid

Sarnia Police Service officials allege: On June 5, 2025 at 10 p.m., police were called to the Suncor Docks on St Clair Parkway for a male with a knife.

Investigation revealed that 48-year-old victim and her 14-year-old son had attended Sarnia from London to fish.

Originally fishing at the south end of the dock, the son moved to the north to find a better spot.

In doing so he encountered a male who indicated that the son should fish elsewhere.

To emphasize this point, he produced a knife. The son reported this to his mother, who in turn confronted the male.

The male produced the knife again, put it to his own neck in a threatening gesture, pointed it at the victim and charged at her for a short distance.

The victim backed away and in doing so, tripped on an anchor and hit her head.

The male was located nearby and arrested without incident.

A 12″ fishing knife was recovered.

There were no injuries other than the bump on the victim’s head caused by the fall (EMS refused).

A 69-year-old man of Scotch Pine Gate Mississauga, was held for bail on the following charges:

– Assault with a Weapon

– Weapons Dangerous

- Advertisment -
