Two men have been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon following an incident in Waycobah, N.S., on Sunday.
New Brunswick RCMP say at approximately 3:30 a.m., officers received multiple 911 calls reporting a man being chased by two others on Portage Road in Waycobah.

More 911 calls were also received, reporting a hit-and-run on Highway 105.
When officers arrived on scene, the victim had been transported to Inverness Hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
Police have since determined that the hit-and-run and the reports of a man being chased are related.
They say the victim appears to have been struck by a gold-coloured car and then attacked by the occupants with an object.
RCMP later arrested two men and a woman at a residence in Waycobah without incident. The woman has since been released without charges.
