Sault Ste. Marie Police Intensify Search for Suspect in Summer Stabbing Incident

Sault Ste. Marie Police Service is really ramping up their efforts, calling on the community for help as they continue their search for a man wanted in connection with a stabbing that took place right here in town this past summer. It's a serious situation, and they’re hoping someone out there can provide that crucial piece of information.

The incident in question, a rather unsettling one, happened on the first day of August, specifically on the 200 block of Albert Street West. Details from the police suggest that, thankfully, the victim of the stabbing received medical attention for injuries that, while certainly serious and requiring treatment, weren't considered life-threatening. Still, it's an assault, and justice needs to be served, you know?

Now, the individual police are actively looking for is Keshawn Charles, who is 20 years old. They've provided a pretty clear description: he's described as a Black male, standing at about five feet, eleven inches tall, and weighing around 140 pounds, which points to a rather thin build. When it comes to his appearance, he has black hair, often styled in braids or dreadlocks, and brown eyes. This description is pretty specific, so hopefully, it helps jog someone's memory.

It's important to understand the gravity of the situation here. Charles is currently wanted on some very serious charges: aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. These aren't minor offenses, and the police are taking them incredibly seriously. This is precisely why they're issuing a very clear and stern warning to the public.

If you happen to spot Keshawn Charles, or think you might have, the police are absolutely firm on this: do not, under any circumstances, try to approach him. He is considered dangerous, and your safety is paramount. The best course of action, and really the only safe one, is to immediately contact the authorities. Let the trained professionals handle it.

So, if you possess any information whatsoever that could assist in locating Keshawn Charles, or perhaps know something about the incident itself, please don't hesitate.
