Calgary police are searching for suspects and possible surveillance video after a man was found with life-threatening stab wounds near the Victoria Park CTrain station late Tuesday evening.
Officers were called out around 11 p.m. to Macleod Trail and 15th Avenue Southeast, where they discovered a man in critical condition, with a collapsed lung, who also left a trail of blood through a large area of the downtown core.
Police said that despite the seriousness of his injuries, the man is expected to survive.
Investigators are also trying to determine if a second scene — about 2.5 kilometres away — at Century Gardens Park at 8th Street and 8th Avenue Southwest is related to the stabbing.
So far there are no suspects, but officers are hoping CCTV cameras in the area may provide them with more information.
The stabbing happened just days after another man was discovered dead on a sidewalk in the 700 block of 5th Street Southwest.
Police say the victim, who they have identified as 34-year-old Samuel Mulugeta of Calgary, was robbed of his belongings and assaulted early Sunday morning by three people at the 3rd Street Southwest CTrain station.
He walked several blocks before collapsing and succumbing to his injuries.
Calgary police have released photos of three suspects in the fatal assault of a man in downtown Calgary early Sunday morning (Jan. 12, 2025).
