Winnipeg police have a teen in custody after they say he attacked a 60-year-old man with a machete.
Police said the man noticed the young man on the property he was working at in the 800 block of McDermot Avenue, wearing a balaclava. The victim asked the man to leave.
Instead, the teen attacked the man with a machete and ran away. The victim was injured but did not require medical treatment.
Police found the teen a short distance away, they said. The teen, 17, was arrested and charged with assault with a weapon, eight charges of failing to comply with a sentence, and for not complying with his probation. He was detained.
