Police in Abbotsford are investigating an incident in which a man was attacked by another man with a hammer last Friday (Nov. 4).
Sgt. Paul Walker, a media officer with the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), said several calls came in just before 3 a.m. that day about an assault in the 32000 block of Mt. Waddington Ave. (just east of Clearbrook Road and between Tims Avenue and Old Yale Road).
Walker said a 37-year-old man was approached by a newer silver or dark-grey four-door hatchback being driven by a woman. He said a man got out of the car, demanded items from the victim and hit him with a hammer.
