Hamilton police are investigating a "disturbance" in central Hamilton that sent a 22-year-old man to hospital.

"The disturbance took place at 4 a.m. this morning," said police spokeswoman Debbie McGreal-Dinning.

A 22-year-old man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, she said.

She would not elaborate on the nature of the incident and said the probe is in its early stages.  

The northbound lanes of Sanford Avenue North between Barton and Bristol streets are closed on Thursday morning for the investigation.
