A 15-year-old Winnipeg boy is doing well after undergoing surgery to repair injuries he sustained in an alleged beating and machete attack.
It happened in the 300 block of Selkirk Avenue Saturday night Winnipeg police said.
"In all honesty, this is one of the most serious attacks that we've investigated involving a machete," said Const. Dani McKinnon.
The boy's sister, who is not being identified to protect the victim's identity, told CTV News her brother was up and talking Wednesday.
“He’s in much better spirits than you'd expect,” she told CTV News. “He was cracking jokes with his brothers and just trying, trying to be as normal as he could be.”
She said he told her what happened that Saturday night when he woke up.
She said her brother and a group of friends approached a woman who appeared to be intoxicated and in need of help. She said a couple of people then chased after the group, and they all ran away. She explained they caught up with her brother first.
