A 14-year-old boy is in hospital after being stabbed at Portage Collegiate Institute in Portage la Prairie Monday morning.
RCMP received a report of the assault at approximately 10:05 a.m., sending officers and paramedics to the scene. Emergency crews found a boy being treated for a stab wound, and he was transported to hospital in Winnipeg in stable condition.
Officers learned the teen had been stabbed by another male youth, who fled the scene. The collegiate and nearby daycares were briefly locked down as a precaution.
The suspect was located minutes later at a home in Portage la Prairie and taken into custody without incident.
Charges are pending against a 15-year-old boy from Long Plain First Nation.
