A Solon Township man is facing felonious assault charges after he allegedly stabbed his roommate over the weekend.

According to the Kent County Sheriff’s Department, they responded to a report of a domestic assault in the early morning hours of July 31, in the 1900 block of 17 Mile, near Algoma, in Solon Township.

Deputies discovered that the 37-year-old male victim had multiple stab wounds in his face and neck. He was able to leave the house and was transported to Spectrum Health to receive treatment.
