A 25-year-old man has been charged following a stabbing at an apartment complex in Winnipeg’s Elmwood neighbourhood.
Police were called to the 1–99 block of Stadacona Street just after 4 p.m. on Saturday after reports of a stabbing. Officers found a 27-year-old man suffering from multiple serious injuries. He was taken to hospital in stable condition.
Investigators say the victim and suspect were inside a suite together when the suspect allegedly assaulted the victim without provocation, first punching him several times before using a knife to slash him. The suspect then fled the scene.
Officers located and arrested the suspect about an hour later in the 100 block of Henry Avenue.
Gabriel Joseph Andrew Linklater has been charged with aggravated assault and remains in custody.
