Second man charged in connection with roadway assault
LETHBRIDGE — A 26-year-old city man has been charged in connection with an assault in the middle of a downtown road earlier this week on Monday (Dec 10).
Just after 12 p.m. on that day, police responded to a stabbing at the intersection of 3 Avenue and 12 Street South.
An investigation determined that three acquaintances, 26-year-old man and a 30-year-old man and 27-year-old woman, were involved in a physical altercation earlier in the day and had left the scene in separate vehicles. A second incident erupted when the two vehicles were stopped at a red light.
The 26-year-old exited his vehicle and smashed the window of the other vehicle with a snow brush, which prompted the other couple to get out and confront him. The 26-year-old attempted to strike the woman, but the 30-year-old man intervened and was hit across the back. The 30-year-old subsequently stabbed the 26-year-old multiple times and left him in the road before he and the woman fled in their vehicle.
