Winnipeg police say the incident happened Tuesday afternoon, sending a 22-year-old man to hospital with a serious upper-body injury.
Police say the suspect had entered the store and was confronted by the guard over suspected shoplifting. When told to leave, the suspect took out a sharp-edged weapon, stabbed the guard, and fled with stolen merchandise before officers arrived.
The security guard was taken to hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable.
No arrest has been made, and police continue to investigate.
