The Prince George RCMP is investigating a Friday assault that took place shortly before 7pm on the 1900 block of Strathcona Avenue.
Police say an altercation occurred when a large group of youth approached and attacked a man, who was at one point struck in the head by a machete.
“Thankfully, witnesses in the area have been incredibly cooperative with our investigation and from this we know there were three assailants.” said Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer.
“One suspect, a 15-year-old youth, was arrested shortly after the assault occurred and will remain in-custody until his next court appearance. We are still looking for the other two suspects and are asking that if anyone has any information on who they are or where they are now, they contact the Prince George RCMP’s non-emergency line with that information,”Â
The man received numerous non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital by Emergency Health Services.
