A man from Pine Falls is facing more than a half-dozen charges after two teens were attacked with a machete late last month, Manitoba RCMP say.
Officers from the Powerview detachment were called to the Pine Falls hospital on the morning of Aug. 30, where a 16-year-old victim was receiving care for serious injuries caused by a machete.
Police investigated and found a second victim, 17, at a Pine Falls home, with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Both victims were taken to hospital in Winnipeg for further treatment.
