Winnipeg police issue warrant for suspect in assault at The Forks
Winnipeg police have issued a warrant for a man they allege randomly attacked a man at The Forks earlier this month.
Daniel Christopher Dumas, 33, is wanted following an assault at The Forks on June 6. According to police, a 33-year-old man was assaulted randomly and beaten until he was unconscious. He was later taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Police allege Dumas was also involved in two other incidents on June 7, one of which was a random attack.
At 12:05 a.m., police said Dumas assaulted a 37-year-old woman standing in line at a beer vendor in the 600 block of Westminster Avenue, stealing her purse.
Then at 1:39 a.m., police said Dumas broke into a garage at a home in River Heights and rummaged through a vehicle inside. They said he tried to break into the home as well, but was not successful.
None of the charges have been proven in court.
Police say Dumas is five-foot-eight, weighs 150 pounds and has a thin build. Police say he should not be approached, as he is considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information about his location is asked to call the major crimes unit at 204-986-6219.
