Police seek suspect in stabbing
City police are asking the public for help to investigate a stabbing of a 14-year-old boy that followed a dispute on a Winnipeg Transit bus in early June.
Winnipeg police said officers were sent to Marbury Road and Jefferson Avenue in the Maples area at about 7:20 p.m. on June 4, where they found the boy suffering stab wounds to his upper body. He was taken to hospital in stable condition, while the suspects fled before police arrived. Police said the victim will require surgery.
Major crimes officers learned two groups of youths had been on a bus travelling from the St. James neighbourhood when an argument broke out. The two groups got off at the intersection, where one suspect stabbed the boy.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call major crimes investigators at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
Homemade gun with bayonet seized
A Dauphin man has been charged after RCMP found a homemade gun with an attached bayonet in a vehicle during a traffic stop late Tuesday.
Mounties on patrol in Dauphin spotted a vehicle speeding on the city’s Main Street at about 10:40 p.m. and pulled it over.
An officer approached the vehicle and found two men in the front seats, smelling alcohol and spotting a bag of unmarked cigarettes, RCMP said. The driver was given an alcohol breath test, which he failed.
Inside the vehicle, RCMP found the homemade gun, a spent round, ammunition, cellphones and cash, then determined the driver was on parole and allegedly breaching his conditions.
A 37-year-old Dauphin man was charged with four weapons offences, driving while impaired and possessing property obtained by crime.
