A man and woman are facing charges after a man was assaulted in Garden Hill First Nation in Manitoba.

Island Lake RCMP were called to a home in the community, roughly 475 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, around 5:20 p.m. Sunday, where they say officers were told a 56-year-old man had already been sent to the nursing station with serious injuries.

The victim was ultimately air-lifted to a hospital in Winnipeg.

Police haven’t said what led up to the assault, or how the man was assaulted.
