A man is facing charges after two victims were stabbed in separate, unprovoked incidents on Main Street on Wednesday.

Police found the first victim, who had suffered serious “upper body” injuries, on the 800 block of Main Street at about 12:40 p.m. The 37-year-old man was involved in what police called an “unprovoked verbal confrontation, which escalated with the suspect stabbing the victim.”

In the second incident, a suspect approached a 61-year-old man in the area of Main and Pioneer Avenue and asked for a cigarette at about 2:15 p.m. He then stabbed the victim in his upper body.

Both victims were taken to hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable.

Police arrested a 23-year-old Winnipeg man on the 300 block of Portage Avenue shortly after 3 p.m. He is facing two counts of assault with a weapon and one count of possession of a weapon.
