LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge Police have charged a man with aggravated assault in connection to an incident at a bar.
On October 26, 2024, police responded to a report that a 19-year-old male had been knocked out by a security guard. The guard was contracted to work at an event hosted by a licensed establishment along the 3500 block of Mayor Magrath Drive South.
The victim left the scene prior to police’s arrival, but later went to Chinook Regional Hospital for treatment of a head injury. He was subsequently airlifted to Calgary in critical condition.
A police investigation determined the victim had previously left a line-up in the parking lot while waiting to get inside the business and was walking back towards the building when he was approached by a security guard. Police say the security guard punched the victim in the face, and he fell to the ground, hitting his head on the pavement.
