Winnipeg police continue to look for information about an armed robbery and assault that took place Tuesday evening on Empress Street.
Officers were called to the scene around 6:45 p.m., where they found two women in their 20s, who said they’d been walking outside an area business when an unknown man approached them, demanded personal property, and hit both in the upper body with a large, edged weapon.
The suspect ran off after stealing one of the victims’ purses. Both were taken to hospital in stable condition.
Anyone with information is asked to call major crimes investigators at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
