Stabbing at Elmwood home linked to gang activity: WPS

Winnipeg police allege the suspect and victim in an altercation that led to a stabbing Friday in Elmwood knew each other through gang affiliations and drug subculture.

The Winnipeg Police Service says around 1:30 a.m., officers were called to Harbison Avenue West near Roch Street for the report of a man who had been stabbed.

Officers arrived to find a 33-year-old with upper-body injuries. He was taken to hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable.

Investigators believe the suspect showed up to the victim’s home and pointed a gun at him.

“The victim was successful in disarming the suspect of the firearm; however, he was stabbed in the upper body by the suspect, who had now armed himself with a knife,” WPS said in a news release. “The firearm was not discharged during the incident.”
