An 18-year-old Moncton man has been charged with aggravated assault in relation to a stabbing at a Dieppe sports bar earlier this month.

Codiac RCMP arrested Patrick Hakizimana on Sunday, and he appeared in Moncton Provincial Court on Monday, according to Corporal Pat Tardif. Hakizimana was remanded into custody until his next court appearance on Wednesday for a bail hearing.

On May 3, police were called to the Sports Rock Bar in Dieppe just before 4 a.m. where the victim was allegedly assaulted. The man, who sustained serious injuries, remains in the hospital in stable condition, Corp. Tardif said.
