The Ontario Review Board held an initial disposition hearing for the accused, who was found not criminally responsible for aggravated assault after stabbing another patient at a hospital.
The accused suffers from schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder.
The Board found that the accused continues to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public due to his major mental illness, history of substance use, and minimal insight into his need for treatment.
The Board ordered a detention order at the hospital's forensic service with privileges and conditions, including a prohibition on contacting the victim.
