Saskatoon Police say the hardware store wasn’t open but they can’t confirm those involved in an incident Saturday morning were employees.

The business located in the 700 block of Circle Drive East would be Home Depot and the assault occurred at 6:15 on Saturday morning.

For reasons not yet made clear, according to police, the suspect attacked four people with a shovel. Two were sent to hospital and two were treated on scene by Medavie Health Services.

The suspect was picked up a short time later walking westbound down Circle Drive. The victims and suspect know each other. A 29 year old man has been charged with two counts of assault and two counts of aggravated assault.
