Calgary police say they have charged a 22-year-old Calgary man in connection with two separate stabbings last month (September 2024) that sent two people to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Police says they were called out to Century Gardens Park in downtown Calgary about 9:30 on Sept. 8, 2024 for reports a person had been stabbed and the suspect had fled on foot.
The victim was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition.
Police arrested the suspect several hours later with the help of Calgary Transit and City of Calgary security.
Following his arrest, investigators say they were able to link him to another stabbing that happened at the City Hall CTrain station a few days earlier (Sept. 3, 2024) that sent a person to hospital in critical condition.
Police say it appears the suspect and victims were unknown to each other, and the stabbings were random.
