Winnipeg police say a man was stabbed after getting off a transit bus Sunday night, and they’re looking for suspects.
Officers were called to the intersection of St. Mary’s Road and Vivian Street around 8:50 p.m., where they found the 36-year-old victim with a serious upper-body injury. He was taken to hospital in unstable condition, later upgraded to stable.
Police said the man was riding the bus when a group of people got on at St. Mary’s and Marion Street and got into a verbal argument with him, which escalated into a physical assault. The fight continued outside the bus, at which point the man was stabbed.
According to police, a witness helped the injured victim get back on the bus and the driver called police while the suspects — whom the victim didn’t know — ran off.
Anyone with information is asked to call major crimes investigators at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
