The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) is investigating an alleged assault at an encampment site.
On Tuesday, April 23, 2024, police responded to a report that three men confronted a 39-year-old man that they believed had stolen property from them while they were setting up an encampment west of the 900 block of 2 A Avenue South.
Police say a physical altercation ensued, the man was struck with a weapon, and the three suspects fled the scene prior to police arrival.
LPS adds that this was a targeted incident involving parties who are known to one another. The victim was taken to hospital with a serious, but non-life-threatening head injury.
