LETHBRIDGE, Alta. – A southern Alberta man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman was bludgeoned in her sleep.

Police in Lethbridge responded early Tuesday morning to a report that a man had broken into a home and attacked a 27-year-old woman who was asleep in her bedroom.

They say the woman does not know the accused and are calling it a random act of violence.

The investigation determined the man entered through an open ground-floor window and, once inside, obtained an unspecified object that he used to bludgeon the woman before fleeing through the same window.

The woman was admitted to hospital with serious head injuries.

A suspect was arrested on Wednesday.

Corbin John Maxwell, 28, of Coaldale, is charged with attempted murder and housebreaking with intent and is to be in court next Tuesday.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 13, 2024.
