A 76-year-old man was seriously injured and taken to hospital following an assault on Tuesday evening. 

According to Police, the incident took place on May 7, around 8:10 p.m. at a residence on Burns Bay.

While officers were en route, it was reported that the suspect was assaulting an elderly man. Once at the scene, RCMP located the suspect jumping on the roof of a vehicle. He was arrested and taken into custody.

The victim was taken to a local hospital and then transferred to Winnipeg, where he remains in care.
