A 31-year-old man is facing charges following a machete assault in Little Grand Rapids early Thursday morning.
Manitoba RCMP say officers were called to the local nursing station at about 5:05 a.m., after a man arrived with a serious arm injury caused by a stabbing. Investigators determined the victim had been involved in a fight with another man, during which his arm was cut with a machete.
Police located and arrested the suspect, a 31-year-old man from the community, at his residence at about 6:10 a.m. without incident.
The victim, also a 31-year-old community member, was airlifted to hospital for treatment and has since been released with significant but non-life-threatening injuries.
Daniel Bushie has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He has been remanded into custody.
Little Grand Rapids RCMP continue to investigate.
