Six people were taken into custody and three charged in connection to a backyard assault in Lethbridge on Tuesday, police said.

At around 8 p.m., Lethbridge police responded to a group of people fighting in a backyard along the 1000 block of 12th Street South.

Officers found a 35-year-old man injured in the alley. He was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

People inside the home refused to come out, according to police, so they “obtained and executed a warrant” to go inside. Six people were arrested.

Police seized a shovel and baseball bat believed to have been used in the assault, Lethbridge police said in a Thursday news release.
