A Winnipeg man is facing charges after police say he swung a machete around a West End neighbourhood bar Thursday afternoon.

A 28-year-old man is facing several charges after an Alberta RCMP officer was attacked with a machete over the weekend.

Six teenagers, one as young as 13, were arrested.

Police said the man was walking toward downtown when two suspects – a man and a woman – attacked him without warning and then walked away. 

The dispute broke out while the two men were perusing a junk pile. The victim claimed a dump cart that the suspect wanted.

Emergency crews were called the Morrish and Ellesmere roads area, west of Meadowvale Road, at around 6:25 p.m. on Wednesday.

Comox Valley RCMP are looking for help to track down the man who attacked 89-year-old Bob Plumb.

After the victim told the man he didn't have a cigarette, the man allegedly assaulted him with the machete.

The man's brother was transported to a Toronto-area trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The victim was robbed of their wallet and cell phone and suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the attack, Red Deer RCMP said.
