The accused was convicted after trial of aggravated assault, two counts of assault with a weapon, and one count of assault.
On January 11, 2017, the accused attacked four co-workers at a metal fabrication factory with a metal pipe or bar.
The attacks were unprovoked and occurred at the beginning of a work shift.
One victim suffered permanent cognitive impairment and disability.
The court imposed a penitentiary sentence of 3 years and 2 months, finding that the severity of injuries, unprovoked nature of the attack, and workplace setting warranted a custodial sentence beyond the reformatory range despite the accused being a first offender.
