Police in Lethbridge have charged a 29-year-old man after an apparent attack in which three people were assaulted.

The incident, in question, took place around 8:00 Friday evening in the 1200-block of 8th Avenue North.

Further investigation has revealed the man entered a northside backyard, was confronted by the occupants and upon being told to leave, became aggressive, striking a 16-year-old boy and 38-year-old woman.

A third person, parked in a nearby vehicle, was also threatened with harm.

Police say a male was located a short distance away and taken into custody after he surrendered to the LPS K-9 unit.

29-year-old Lucas Allan Stadnick was charged with three counts of assault and released.

He was later arrested for breaching conditions on an unrelated matter, and was scheduled to appear in court Monday.
