Police have arrested two men accused of stabbing a man in a Roslyn Road apartment after a failed robbery attempt.

The suspects went to the man’s suite in the 100 block of Roslyn Road Friday about 8:25 p.m. with the intention of robbing him, Winnipeg police said.

The 22-year-old tenant, who knew the men, resisted their attempts to take his belongings and was stabbed in the upper body before the suspects fled.
