20-year old David Wesley, who pleaded guilty to charges of robbery and aggravated assault, is due back in court on February 24th.
He was also facing one count of possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose.
Quesnel RCMP were called to a hardware store in the 100 block of Reid Street in November of 2024 for a report of a man attempting to steal several items.
Police say staff tried to intervene and the man 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.
