Lethbridge police say a woman was assaulted by four men while walking home Tuesday night and they’re hoping the public can help find the suspects.
Just after 10 p.m. on August 9, LPS were called to the 1100 block of Mayor Magrath Drive South after a woman reported she was assaulted.
The 24-year-old from Lethbridge told police she was walking home from work when a verbal altercation ensued with an unknown man who passed by.
In a news release, LPS said the situation escalated when the man returned with three other men.
“She reported the four males then began yelling at her before one of them punched her in the face, shot her in the back with a BB gun and threatened her before the group ran westward across Mayor Magrath Drive,” police said.
The woman attended Chinook Regional Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
