RCMP anticipate more arrests after early-morning group attack off Duke Place on June 24
Three young people have been charged in connection with an early morning attack this week on a 15-year-old boy in Thompson, Man.
RCMP were called after an attack by a group, many carrying machetes, in an area off Duke Place in Thompson on Tuesday at 4:40 a.m., an RCMP news release said Friday.
The 15-year-old was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, including from machetes.
Mounties have arrested three people so far: a 16-year-old boy, a 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man.
The 18-year-old was charged with aggravated assault and detained. The two others were released on a promise to appear in court in Thompson, which is about 650 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
RCMP are still investigating and expect to make more arrests.
