Winnipeg police responded to a violent incident involving a stabbing on a city transit bus Tuesday night that left two people injured.
Officers were called to Portage Avenue and Valour Road at around 6:15 p.m. and found a 40-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter with injuries from an edged weapon.
According to police, the victims were involved in an unprovoked argument with three female suspects on the bus, which escalated into a physical assault. The attackers also robbed the victims before fleeing the scene. Both victims were treated at the hospital and later released.
The first suspect, who was carrying the weapon, is described as an Indigenous woman in her late 20’s, approximately 5’1”, medium build and wearing glasses.
The second and third suspects are described as female youths wearing all dark clothing.
No arrests have been made and police continue to investigate.
