Assault with Additional Charges
On August 25th at approximately 2:05 AM, police responded to a report of a disturbance at a residence on Willowdale Crescent.

Later that morning, at 10:25 AM, a male attended the Brandon Police Service and reported that he had, in fact, been assaulted during the earlier incident. He advised that suspects had entered his apartment, attempted to strike him with a wine bottle, and physically assaulted him by punching him in the face and torso. The assault allegedly continued outside the apartment, during which one of the suspects used a fork as a weapon. Police later recovered the fork.
During the altercation, the victim’s phone—which also contained his identification—fell to the ground and was taken by the suspects. Later that day, the stolen phone was left at the residence of the victim’s sister, where the suspects entered without permission.
Surveillance footage was obtained, and the two primary suspects were identified and contacted. They later attended voluntarily, where they were arrested without incident.

An argument reportedly broke out between the victim’s male friend and a male occupant of the residence. When the victim attempted to intervene, he was stabbed in the upper chest. His injuries were non-life-threatening.
As the group attempted to leave the scene in a taxi, the suspect allegedly used the knife to scratch the vehicle’s door. During the incident, the suspect also sustained a significant injury to his own hand, requiring hospital treatment and follow-up surgery scheduled in Winnipeg later in the week.
The 19-year-old male suspect was taken into custody and held for a court appearance on the morning of August 28th, 2025.
