Brantford Police are searching for a man who allegedly slashed another man with a machete.

According to police, a 29-year-old man visited the city’s police station Sunday evening to report a crime.

The man claimed that he had been attacked by an acquaintance, as the two had been arguing about items the attacker left with the victim while in jail.

He was taken to hospital, where he got stitches for a cut on the side of his head, and was later released from care.

Police believe the attacker to be a 28-year-old man who lives on Dalhousie Street.
