The victim had a large bump and laceration to his forehead. Both the victim and his partner were intoxicated and would not cooperate with police questioning.

The victim was taken to hospital and released a short time later.

Upon his release, the victim was arrested as he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest out of Vernon.
