COLD LAKE – RCMP say a man faces two dozen criminal charges, including attempted murder, after a Mountie was beaten with a club.

Police say an officer was trying to make an arrest on Tuesday after a stolen vehicle was spotted in the parking lot of a Walmart store in Cold Lake.

Investigators say the officer was punched and then repeatedly beaten with his own service baton.

They say the Mountie’s injuries were serious but not life-threatening.

RCMP say someone then smashed the window of a nearby vehicle, threatened the driver with a knife and the baton, and drove away before being arrested later.
