Man rushed to hospital after suffering serious stab wounds Back to video
Winnipeg Police General Patrol units, with the assistance of the K9 Unit, were called to the 600 block of Main Street for a report of an assault at shortly before 11 p.m., where officers located a 57-year-old man suffering from significant stabbing-related injuries. They began to provide emergency medical care and the victim was later rushed to a hospital in unstable condition. He was ultimately upgraded to stable condition.
Three suspects were taken into custody in the 500 block of Main Street. A knife was seized, and some of the victim’s property was recovered.
Members of the Major Crimes Unit continued with the investigation.
It is believed that a group had confronted the victim who was previously unknown to them without provocation when he was seriously assaulted and robbed of his belongings.
Three 20-year-old males have been charged with aggravated assault and robbery. One of them was also charged with failing to comply with conditions of a release order.
The three were detained but were not being named at this time as the investigation is still ongoing.
