A 31-year-old Edmonton man has received a three-and-a-half-year sentence for attacking a woman with a metal bar in a road rage incident in 2017.

A judge handed down the verdict to Jared Matthew Eliasson in an Edmonton courtroom on Friday afternoon.

The man accused of attempted murder and aggravated assault in relation to a March 2017 case of road rage told Edmonton police 17 times that he was not involved in the attack over the course of a nearly four-hour-long interrogation.
