RCMP have arrested a man in connection with a stabbing incident late last week at Little Pine First Nation.
Norman Bird, age 18, faces charges of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
The incident occurred late in the evening Thursday at a residence on the First Nation, according to Cut Knife RCMP. Police say a 19-year-old man was stabbed once in the back, at which point the suspect fled the residence.
Friends transported the victim to the Battlefords Union Hospital to be treated for his injuries. His injuries are described as non-life threatening.
The matter is still under investigation, with Cut Knife RCMP, the North Battleford General Investigation Section, North Battleford Forensic Identification Section, North Battleford Detachment and Unity RCMP all involved.
