Medicine Hat, AB–A 14-year-old male youth and a 26-year-old man have been charged in connection with a serious assault that occurred outside a local hotel earlier this year.

It happened in the rear parking lot of the hotel just before 11 in the evening of May 12, 2023.

A victim had sustained serious, life-threatening injuries that required immediate medical attention. The investigation revealed that two male suspects were responsible for the attack but they had fled the scene prior to police arriving.

After several months, police were able to identify the two suspects. The youth was charged in October with the following:

• Aggravated Assault
• Assault with a Weapon
• Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public.
