Abbotsford Police and BC Ambulance attended the scene. The victim was transported to hospital for treatment of a variety of injuries including bruises, lacerations and injury to his shoulder.

The investigation is now being handled by the Abbotsford Police Department’s Major Crime Unit which is recommending several charges against the 45-year-old suspect including robbery, break and enter, aggravated assault and the theft and use of a credit card. The victim remains in hospital receiving treatment for his injuries.
