The West Interlake RCMP has made one arrest and is looking for another man for an assault on the Lake Manitoba First Nation. Early the morning of May 4th, officers responded to a residence where the report was made, but no one was there, although there were signs of an assault along with weapons that may have been used.

Police then went to a second residence the suspects were known to frequent where they found a 29-year-old with severe injuries. He was arrested and released with a court date before being transported to a Winnipeg hospital where he remains in stable condition.

Police are still looking for the second male involved, 22-year-old Santana Paul, though police are unsure if he is a victim or a suspect. They believe Paul could've been injured in the altercation. He's described as 5’8”, 161 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair.
