Two males have been criminally charged following a reported convenience-store stabbing that left a 36-year-old man with a serious upper-body injury.

It happened Friday night, March 7 at about 9:35 p.m. at a store along the 500 block of Dale Boulevard in south Winnipeg. Police responded to a report that an adult male had been assaulted, and officers provided the victim with emergency medical care. He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery. The suspects fled before police arrived, the Winnipeg Police Service stated in a news release Sunday.

Later, at about 10:20 p.m., officers stopped a suspect vehicle along Norlorne Drive and arrested four people, seizing an air gun and a machete that police believed was used in the convenience-store assault. Police stated they learned through their investigation the victim and the suspects had gotten into an argument in the store, and the suspects left, only to return armed with a machete.

A 15-year-old male from Winnipeg is charged with aggravated assault, two counts of possession of a weapon, two counts of failure to comply with a sentence and two counts of failure to comply with an undertaking. He was detained in custody. A 20-year-old man from Garson, Man., was charged with two counts of possession of a weapon and was released on an undertaking.

No other charges were announced by police.
