‘Very, very, lucky to be alive’: Machete attack victim in Winnipeg doing well post-surgery, says sister
A 15-year-old Winnipeg boy is doing well after undergoing surgery to repair injuries he sustained in an alleged beating and machete attack.
His sister, who is not being identified to protect the victim’s identity, told CTV News her brother was up and talking Wednesday.
“He’s in much better spirits than you’d expect,” she told CTV News. “He was cracking jokes with his brothers and just trying, trying to be as normal as he could be.”
She said he told her what happened that Saturday night when he woke up.
She said her brother and a group of friends approached a woman who appeared to be intoxicated and in need of help. She said a couple of people then chased after the group, and they all ran away. She explained they caught up with her brother first.
“He was attacked and robbed for his cellphone,” she said, “Brutally beaten and slashed with a machete.”
She told CTV News her brother’s skull was fractured, and he endured 20 hours of surgery to reattach nerves “almost everywhere in his body.”
“He’s got over 20 staples in his back,” she said. “He’s got stitches in his ears. They had to reattach fingers.”
She said his arms were slashed down to the bone.
“His arms are so bandaged up he can’t use his hands,” she said, “He’s very, very lucky, very lucky to be alive.”
A 15-year-old boy has been charged with aggravated assault, robbery, and possession of a weapon. The charges have not been proven in court.
