The accused in a violent robbery in Quesnel has pleaded guilty to two of the three charges laid against him.
20-year old David Wesley pled guilty to a charge of robbery and aggravated assault in provincial court.
He was also facing one count of possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose.
Wesley is due back in court on December 9th for a pre-sentence report.
The charges are in connection with an incident back on November 10th of last year.
Quesnel RCMP were called to a hardware store in the 100 block of Reid Street for a report of a man who was attempting to steal several items.
Police say staff tried to intervene and the man then presented a hatchet and struck a staff member in the head.
A physical struggle ensued and the suspect is then accused of pulling out a large knife and stabbing the employee in the arm before fleeing the scene.
RCMP say the employee suffered a laceration to his head and arm.
A suspect was arrested the following day.
