A 45-year-old man is facing assault charges after three men were stabbed in central Ottawa early Saturday.

Police said they were called to an apartment at 415 MacLaren Street just after midnight, where they found three male stabbing victims.

All three of them were hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries.

Four men were taken into custody, but only one has been charged - 45-year-old Yusuf Adan.

He is facing two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of assault with a weapon, three counts of breaching probation and one count of possessing a dangerous weapon.

Police said he had been known to them and no other charges are expected.
