Three charged in stabbing
Three people are facing aggravated assault charges after two men were stabbed on the westside on Saturday night.
Around 6:30 p.m., Lethbridge police were called to a report of a serious assault along Berkeley Place West. When police arrived, they found a 19-year-old man and a 22-year-old man suffering from severe injuries.
The two men were rushed to Chinook Regional Hospital with multiple stab wounds to the upper body, initially believed to be life-threatening.
The 19-year-old also sustained a serious head injury. He was subsequently airlifted by STARS to Calgary. Both men remain in hospital.
A police investigation determined the men were assaulted by a group of people known to them. Prior to the physical confrontation, the victims and subjects had been taunting one another. The group was located quickly and two men and one woman were arrested without incident.
Lethbridge Police have charged Joel McKenzie Guzman, 25, Angela Dawn Spearchief, 24, and Dustin Courtney Okimaw, 30, all of Lethbridge, with two counts of
aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
Guzman was scheduled to appear in court on Monday. Spearchief and Okimaw are scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
