Manitoba RCMP are investigating a violent group assault that sent a 15-year-old boy to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries early Tuesday morning.
Police say the teen was attacked around 4:40 a.m. on June 24 by a group of males — several armed with machetes — in an open area near Duke Place.
Three suspects have been arrested: two youths, aged 16 and 17, who were released with future court dates, and 18-year-old Zane Mercredi of Thompson, who has been charged with aggravated assault and remains in custody.
RCMP say the investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected.
