A 23-year-old man was rushed to hospital on Friday after an early morning assault at a north-side fourplex.

Lethbridge police were called to a residence in the 1000 block of 27A Street North just before 6:30 a.m.

The victim was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, “including stab wounds,” police said.

A male and female suspect left the home before police arrived but were found at a residence on Stafford Drive North later in the morning.

Both were arrested without incident and the woman was treated by EMS for a cut on her hand.
