Lethbridge man repeatedly stabbed by car prowling suspect, teen charged
A Lethbridge man was stabbed multiple times and hospitalized after confronting a teenaged car prowling suspect early Saturday morning.
Lethbridge Police Service officials say the 26-year-old man spotted someone inside a parked vehicle in the 200 block of Blackfoot Road W at around 1 a.m.
The man confronted the intruder and was subsequently stabbed multiple times.
Emergency crews arrived and the stabbing victim was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He has since been released from hospital.
The stabbing suspect fled the area but was arrested a short time later. The suspect weapon was recovered at the scene.
The 17-year-old male who was arrested has been released from custody ahead of his scheduled court appearance on June 22. The teen has been charged with:
- Assault with a weapon;
- Assault causing bodily harm;
- Mischief; and,
- Assaulting a peace officer.
The LPS says car prowlers commonly arm themselves with weapons and encourages members of the public who witness a car prowling to call 911 instead of intervening.
