Winnipeg police say a teen was hospitalized after being attacked with a machete late last week.
WPS says officers responded to reports around 7:39 p.m. on June 13 that a teen was seriously injured during an attempted robbery involving a machete in the St. James area.
Reports indicate that Winnipeg Fire Paramedics Services was nearby at the time of the incident on an unrelated matter, when they saw a group of teens gathering. During this time, one teen allegedly assaulted another with a machete.

He was taken to hospital in unstable condition, before being upgraded to stable. Police also note that he did suffer life-altering injuries.
It is believed that several teens were involved in the incident, and police are looking to identify everyone involved.
