One charged with assault after man badly cut with knife in Lethbridge alley

It happened last weekend when officers were called to Chinook Regional Hospital to investigate an assault.

LPS say a 25 year old man, who is unfamiliar with the city, was lost while walking through an alley on 2nd Avenue South on Friday evening (Sept, 13) when he saw a man hit a woman. He apparently yelled at that person to stop and was then punched in the face.

Police allege the suspect then pulled a knife, cut the victim’s hand, almost severing his finger.

23 year old Cody Levi Long Time Squirrel was arrested on Tuesday this week (Sept. 17) on a street corner downtown is also facing charges of breaching conditions. He remains in jail awaiting a release hearing.

Police say during a search as part of the arrest, the suspect was found in possession of a lock picking kit, hatchet and prescription medication in someone else’s name.
