An 18-year-old Hamilton man is facing charges after his mother was stabbed in Waterdown Wednesday night.

Emergency crews were called to a home on Flamboro Street around 8:15 p.m. for a "family-related disturbance," police say.

First responders found a 57-year-old woman with stab wounds. She was taken to hospital and is being treated for non life-threatening injuries.

The victim's son was arrested at the scene and is now facing charges of assault with a weapon.

Police say they aren't releasing the name of the victim or the accused.
