A man in his 40s was stabbed in what police say was a random attack while he was out for a jog in Winnipeg’s St. Vital area late Friday night.
Officers responded to the 1-99 block of Abbotsford Crescent just after 11 p.m. on June 6, where they located the victim suffering a serious upper body injury. He was transported to hospital and admitted for observation.
With the help of the Air 1 helicopter, tactical support team, and K9 unit, two youth suspects were located nearby and taken into custody.
Police say the victim was approached by two suspects who initially asked for the time before verbally threatening and stabbing him.
A 15-year-old girl has been charged with assault causing bodily harm, uttering threats, possession of a weapon, and failing to comply with conditions of an undertaking. She remains in custody.
A 16-year-old boy was released without charges.
