LETHBRIDGE, AB – Two people have been charged following an alleged assault in north Lethbridge in early June.

The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) said that on June 2, 2023, officers responded to a report of an injured male who had been assaulted. Police said the victim entered a northside business to seek help.

The police investigation determined that the 38-year-old victim had ridden his e-bike to Legacy Park. There, police said he was confronted by an unknown group of males, was assaulted, and had his e-bike and other property stolen.

The LPS subsequently arrested an 18-year-old man in the park. A 16-year-old male, who reportedly fled from police on the e-bike, was later arrested at his home.

The e-bike, along with other property, was recovered.
