The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) is continuing to investigate an attempted murder involving two youths.
Just after 4:30 p.m. on August 27, 2025, officers were called to a home on the north side on reports that a seven-year-old boy had been stabbed.
The 911 call was made by the victim’s father. LPS says the boy was in serious medical distress and was taken to Chinook Regional Hospital before being airlifted to the Edmonton Children’s Hospital.
The victim’s 12-year-old brother allegedly told police that an unknown man entered the home and stabbed his sibling before fleeing.
