Police have arrested a man following what they say were unprovoked machete attacks on four people in northeast Edmonton.<\/p>\n

Officers responded to a call Monday and discovered two women and a man with life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

They say an investigation led them to another home where they believe the attacks occurred.<\/p>\n

Another man was discovered in a nearby vehicle with a critical stab wound.<\/p>\n

Bobby-James Lavallee, who is 33, of Prince George, B.C., is charged with attempted murder, four counts of aggravated assault and breaches of conditions.<\/p>\n

Police are asking for the public\u2019s help to locate the machete as it may still be near the scene.<\/p>\n

They say it’s kukri-style knife, which has a distinctive curve in its blade.<\/p>\n
