A 19-year-old man is in critical condition after what Abbotsford police are describing as a botched home invasion.
Officers with the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) were called to a home in the 2300-block of McKenzie Road about 3:30 a.m. on Friday to reports of a home invasion.
When they arrived, they found the resident, who had confronted the alleged burglar, pinning the suspect to the floor, according to an APD media release.
When officers realized the man was in medical distress, they initiated CPR before firefighters and paramedics arrived and took over his care.
The man was taken to hospital, where he remains in critical condition, according to the APD.
Police said it’s unclear if the resident and the alleged home invader knew each other.
The APD major crime section has taken over the case, and investigators are asking anyone with information to call police.
