Two suspects arrested after stabbing near HSC campus

Two people are in police custody after a man was stabbed near the Health Sciences Centre campus Wednesday night.

The Winnipeg Police Service provided few details on the incident Thursday, but confirmed the stabbing occurred on the 700 block of William Avenue.

WPS spokesperson Const. Dani McKinnon said the crime appears to be random in nature, but the investigation is ongoing.

Officers arrested two people in connection to the incident. The victim was treated for injuries and upgraded to stable condition, McKinnon said.

WPS did not provide identifying details about the victim or the suspects, but expects to issue a news release with further details, McKinnon said.

Crime and violence have been prevailing issues at and around HSC, which is currently among several facilities grey-listed by the Manitoba Nurses Union.
