Winnipeg police: Arrest in stabbing bus shelter

The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) has arrested two people after a stabbing at a bus shelter Tuesday night.

The investigation began around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday when officers were called to a stabbing at Portage Avenue and Tylehurst Street.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a 19-year-old man with injuries to his upper body. Police gave the victim emergency treatment before he was taken to hospital in an unstable condition. He has since been upgraded to a stable condition.

Police searched the area and found two suspects hiding under a structure in the 1500 block of Wolseley Avenue West.

The Major Crimes Unit investigated and determined that the victim and two suspects got into an argument at a bus shelter, resulting in the stabbing. The victim and two accused did not know each other.

A 24-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman are facing charges in connection with the incident. They are in custody and the charges have not been proven in court.
