Ontario Provincial Police took a person into custody when they responded to a call around 10:15 Friday night about a disturbance on Mississaga Street West in Orillia.

" Upon arrival, officers located a male in distress holding a knife. The male attempted to approach police with the knife and after a brief struggle the male was placed under arrest. Upon further investigation police located two victims outside the residence. One of the victims had serious non-life-threatening injuries, while a second victim had minor injuries," police said in a news release.

One of the victims was taken by paramedics to a local hospital for treatment.

While responding to the disturbance, an OPP cruiser had a mechanical failure resulting in a spontaneous fire, not related to the incident. No officers were injured.

The Orillia OPP Crime Unit is investigating the incident on Mississaga Street West and no further information will be released at this time.
