Woman hospitalized after alleged ‘random’ stabbing, robbery in Osborne Village

Winnipeg police say a teenage girl has been charged after a woman was stabbed and robbed on Roslyn Road on Monday around midnight.

The Winnipeg Police Service described the attack by multiple suspects on a woman in her 20s as “random.”

They allege the woman was walking home after finishing work when she was jumped from behind, pushed to the ground, stabbed and robbed of her cell phone.

“During the assault, she was able to disarm the suspect and held onto the knife, while they continued to assault her,” Winnipeg police allege.

Authorities say bystanders then intervened and called 911 as the suspects ran off.

The victim was taken to hospital in critical condition, and was later upgraded to stable.

One of the suspects, a 17-year-old girl, was arrested and charged with robbery, aggravated assault and seven counts of failing to comply with a release order. She was detained in custody.

Anyone with information or video is asked to call 204-986-6219 or anonymously at Crime Stoppers 204-786-TIPS.
