RCMP say a man has been charged after another one was seriously hurt by a machete.

Police say officers responded to a call last week in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, for reports a man approached two other men in a business parking lot and injured one of them.

Officers later found the suspect, deploying a stun gun to arrest him after he threatened to harm police.

A 48-year-old man is facing assault and weapons charges and is to appear in court next month.
