Police in northern Ontario are searching for a third person wanted for attempted murder in Moosonee in connection with a serious assault last week.
On Monday afternoon, 29-year-old Cody Linklater was identified as the third suspect in an attack that happened last Thursday night and left one person with serious injuries.
He is described as five-foot 11-inches tall, 235 pounds with short, black hair and a moustache, Ontario Provincial Police said on social media.
Linklater was last seen in Moosonee and OPP said to not approach him.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call 911 or 1-888-310-1122.
OPP Const. Rob Lewis told CTV News in an email Monday morning, the attack was an isolated incident.
"Investigators believe there is no threat to public safety, but the OPP reminds members of the public to be aware of their personal safety at all times," Lewis said.
