Four people were taken to hospital after an assault outside St. John’s High School early Thursday afternoon.

Police said a man suffered “an upper-body injury” in a park next to the school. Some students said later they heard he had been stabbed. The victim was helped by school staff and was in hospital listed in stable condition Thursday afternoon.

Pepper spray was used in the incident as well, and three youths were taken to hospital as a precaution, the Winnipeg Police Service said.
