Three men are facing charges, including attempted murder, in an alleged assault at Maskwacis last month.

On Feb. 24 2022, Maskwacis RCMP were dispatched to assist EMS with a male suffering from injuries sustained from a serious assault.

Police would learn the victim attended a residence known to him, was attacked and held against his will. After a period of time, however, the victim was able to escape to safety.

Mounties say the victim was assessed by EMS on scene and transported to a local area hospital.

Investigators from the Maskwacis General Investigative Section (GIS), along with assistance from Maskwacis General Duty Members, identified the three persons responsible for the attack.
