Saskatoon Police say a 27 year-old man is recovering from a non-life threatening but serious injury following an assault with an axe on 22nd Street.

Around 2 o’clock Sunday morning, Saskatoon Police were called to St. Paul’s Hospital where a man was seeking medical treatment.

In a news release, police say the man told officers that he had been walking in the 1800 block of 22nd Street when he came across a man who was acting strangely and may have been under the influence.

The suspect then began to assault the 27 year-old with an axe.

The suspect is described as being between the ages of 25 and 30, 6 feet tall, wearing a black Adidas jacket, dark jeans and a black shirt with white lettering. He was also wearing glasses.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the SPS or Crime Stoppers.
