A 24-year-old male from Winnipeg is facing charges after Police responded to a report of a serious assault at The Forks.
On Oct. 24, at approximately 10:45 p.m., Central District General Patrol officers located a 25-year-old male victim with serious upper body injuries sustained from being stabbed. Officers quickly provided the application of a life-saving chest seal. The victim was transported to the hospital in critical condition and has since been upgraded to stable condition.
Officers determined through the investigation that the suspect and the victim were known to each other and were involved in a dispute before the assault with an unknown weapon happened. Security at The Forks was able to direct officers to the suspect, who was still in the area.
The 24-year-old male now faces charges of aggravated assault.
He was detained in custody.
