LETHBRIDGE, AB – Three people face charges in relation to a reported assault in south Lethbridge.

The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) says on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, at around 8 p.m., officers responded to a report that a group of people were fighting in the backyard of a home along the 1000 block of 12 Street South.

Once on scene, police say they found an injured 35-year-old man in the alleyway. The man was taken to hospital by EMS with serious, but non life-threatening injuries.

The LPS says individuals inside the house refused to exit and police subsequently obtained and executed a search warrant to enter.

In total, six people were taken into custody without incident. During a search, police say they confiscated a shovel and baseball bat they believe were used in the alleged assault.
