A 25-year-old man is facing a full menu of charges after an assault at a Burger King restaurant Tuesday, Winnipeg police say.
Officers were called to the eatery on Osborne Street at Confusion Corner around 10 a.m., where they found the 45-year-old victim with serious upper-body injuries. He was taken to hospital in critical condition and later upgraded to stable.
Police determined that the victim and suspect knew each other, and found the accused near the same restaurant a day later, just after noon.
“We had identified the individual, we had a unit in the area… they did spot the suspect and were able to get him into custody pretty quickly,” Const. Jason Michalyshen told 680 CJOB.
He was arrested and is now in custody facing charges of aggravated assault, robbery and two counts of failing to comply with a probation order.
Michalyshen said police believe the incident may have been caused by a dispute over property.
