Portage Avenue stabbing victim stumbled into nearby store for help

A 46-year-old man stabbed on Portage Avenue Wednesday afternoon is in hospital after stumbling into a downtown Dollarama and receiving medical care.

Police say the man had been confronted by several people on the 300 block of Portage and was stabbed with an unknown weapon at about 5:45. He found his way into the nearby Dollarama.

He was rushed to hospital in unstable condition but has since been upgraded to stable, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a Friday morning news release, noting it was unclear whether the attack was random.

Viv Ketchum, who works as the Indigenous ambassador for Impact Security stationed at the Dollarama located at 295 Portage, said she was in the rear of the shop when she heard a loud “groaning and moaning” through the store.
