Two more men are facing charges after a highly decorated soldier was beaten at a bar in Morrisburg in eastern Ontario.

Master Corporal Collin Fitzgerald was awarded a Medal of Military Valour last month for his heroic actions in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan.

On Saturday, he was attacked in the bar by four men, who had also allegedly taunted him about his war-hero status. MCpl. Fitzgerald suffered a badly broken foot and several facial injuries.

Police have charged 22-year-old Ian Tait and 19-year-old Jeremy Stewart with assault. CP
