The woman was airlifted to an Ottawa hospital for what were considered serious injuries, though the severity of the injuries was subsequently downgraded and they were not considered life-threatening, police said.

There was no immediate word on whether the arrested man had been charged.

There was no risk to public safety, the OPP said, but they added that Morrisburg residents could expect to see an increased police presence in the area.
