Two men from Niagara Falls and one man from Hamilton have been charged after an assault in Niagara Falls.

NRP say that around 6:30 yesterday morning, they were called to a residence near Ottawa Avenue and McRae Street.

They determined that residents within the home had an altercation with three male suspects found in the bedroom.

A man in his thirties was shot with a pellet and beaten with a club and two replica firearms.

The victim was taken to hospital, treated for his injuries, and released.

The suspects left before police attended to the scene.

A replica handgun was found at the scene.

Officers from the NRPS Emergency Task Unit later found and arrested the suspects at a residence near Ker Street and Franklin Avenue in Niagara Falls.
