In an emailed release, Nova Scotia RCMP said the Eskasoni man was arrested after a report on Oct. 23 around 2:20 a.m. of an injured man on Noel R. Street.
A 21-year-old victim was transported to hospital by Emergency Health Services (EHS) with life-threatening injuries.
RCMP officers learned through their investigation that the victim and another man had gotten into a fight, which was consensual, that escalated.
Landon Joseph Paul, 25, of Eskasoni has been charged with three offences: attempted murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
He was remanded into custody and was expected to appear in Sydney Provincial Court Monday.
Police said the investigation is ongoing and being conducted by Eskasoni Detachment RCMP with support from the Northeast Nova major crime and forensic identification units.
