The extent of the two victims' injuries is unknown.

Police said three people have been arrested and are each facing charges of assault with a weapon, trespassing at night, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and aggravated assault.

Jade White, 18, of Arnprior; Ramon Jacob Vasquez-Acres, 19, of Renfrew; and Matteo Antonucci, 18, of Renfrew remain in custody and are awaiting bail hearings.

In a post on Twitter, OPP said the investigation remains ongoing and there is no threat to public safety, but advised residents that a "large police presence" would be visible in Arnprior and Renfrew.
