OLDS, Alta. – Police in central Alberta are searching for at least three suspects after a rural property owner was injured in a late-night confrontation on the weekend.

RCMP in Olds say the 36-year-old man had gone to check on some noises in his garage and suffered cuts to his face and arm when he was attacked by someone with a sharp weapon.

They say the owner put the suspect into a hold to defend himself, but was kicked from behind by a second man.

Both suspects ran down the driveway with the property owner chasing after them.
