Winnipeg police are on the lookout for four people who mugged a Manitoba cabinet minister.
Kevin Chief, the Minister of Children and Youth Opportunities, had his nose broken when he was assaulted last weekend.
It happened in Chief's north end riding, Point Douglas, when he was training for a marathon.
Chief says the four muggers fled without taking anything. He reported the crime to police, but says he was unable to give officers much of a description of the four attackers.
