Calgary police have charged two men in connection with a serious assault that occurred last month.

On Friday, Oct. 16,  at approximately 4:15 p.m. police responded to reports of a serious altercation in the community of Saddle Ridge.

Three men were involved in the altercation in a parking lot located at 218 Saddletowne Circle N.E., after two men approached the victim in an attempt to retrieve documented evidence from him.
