Three people have been charged in connection with an early morning machete attack in central Edmonton.
An Edmonton Police Service (EPS) spokesperson told Global News that officers were called to a restaurant parking lot in the area of 111 Avenue and 106 Street at about 4 a.m. on Monday.
“It was reported that three males were fighting and one of these males was striking a fourth male with a machete,” the spokesperson said in an email. “All four males were known to each other.”
The EPS said the three suspects left the scene in a car before police arrived but were later found by officers and arrested. The victim was taken to hospital with what police described as “serious injuries.”
