Toronto police say a 53-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after two young children were hit in the head with a hammer and choked.
Police say the suspect was in a north Toronto home with the children _ both under the age of 10 _ when they were attacked on Saturday.
The victims suffered life-threatening injuries but police say both are expected to make a full recovery.
The accused is scheduled to appear in court Thursday on charges including two counts of attempt murder, two counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of uttering threats.
Police say they aren’t releasing the man’s name to protect the identity of the victims.
