Winnipeg police responded to the report of an assault at the corner of Sutherland Avenue and Maple Street North on Tuesday.
Officers found a male with serious upper body injuries, already receiving assistance from the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service.
The victim, a 50-year-old man, was transported to the hospital in unstable condition but was later upgraded to stable.
The Major Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation. Initial findings indicate that the victim was part of a group of males when an argument broke out. The situation escalated, leading two suspects to chase the victim and assault him multiple times before fleeing the scene.
The investigation is ongoing and police ask anyone with information to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 204-986-6219 or reach out anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS or at winnipegcrimestoppers.org.
