Key takeaway:

According to police, the resident had woken up to find an intruder inside his apartment. The two had an "altercation" and the intruder suffered life-threatening injuries, police say, and was later airlifted to a Toronto hospital.

Police say the resident is facing charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

The alleged intruder, 41, is also facing charges, including breaking and entering and possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes. Police say the man was also already wanted for unrelated offences.

The homeowner does not deserve to be treated as a criminal for defending himself, his family and his home! Canada needs sane self defence laws!

That's only been required for 20 years. Ffs Canada, common sense. Just let yourself get mugged, raped, murdered- no self defense or defending your own home against invader. Lest you too be charged and sent to jail with the offender
