Man stabbed repeatedly in vicious alleged Adelaide attack
A man has been rushed to hospital with multiple stab wounds after he was discovered bleeding profusely on a quiet Adelaide street. Neighbours in the inner-north suburb of Devon Park were woken by a man yelling for help just after 4am on Monday morning. A number of people left their homes to investigate the cries for help, which CCTV footage shows coming from a severely injured man hobbling down the street. SA Police Detective Acting Chief Inspector Jeff Lang said investigators 'do not believe' the attack was random. 'The behaviour in this attack indicates to Police that those involved are known to each other and that the community should be reassured that we believe this is an isolated incident,' he said on Monday. 'While this type of attack is serious, we will respond rapidly and appropriately to ensure those involved are placed before the court.' Acting Chief Inspector Lang said the police had been unable to interview the victim since he was admitted to hospital, but they were aware the man's injuries were no longer life threatening. 'We are in the early stages of this investigation, and I cannot disclose any more at this time. What we do need, however, is help from the public,' he said. The police have encouraged members of the public who may have information to contact Crimestoppers.

WSIB continues to provide services as strike enters second week Français
Union executive absence from the negotiating table continues TORONTO, May 26, 2025 /CNW/ - The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) continues to provide service to people across Ontario as members of the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU) enter their second week of strike action. Meanwhile, today marks a full week since the union executives walked away from the bargaining table and have not responded to the WSIB's latest offer. "When someone is injured at work, they need to know that the WSIB is here to help, and we are," said Jeff Lang, President and CEO of the WSIB. "Since the strike began, we have continued to help people recover and return to work because that's job one for all of us." On Wednesday May 21, 2025, OCEU executives instructed their members to withdraw all services, starting a strike action that will continue until there is a negotiated agreement. Since the strike started, the WSIB has continued to operate with non-union staff and hundreds of OCEU members who have elected to continue working rather than strike. "We have answered thousands of calls, processed hundreds of claims, and continue to make income replacement payments to people off work because of an injury," said Lang. "I'm so proud of this team and look forward to our full team being back together so we can keep supporting Ontarians who need us." During the strike, people can continue to log in to the WSIB's website anytime, 24/7 to: Report an injury or illness Submit documents for an existing claim See claim, payment, and health benefit information in real time Register a new business Access clearances Telephone support will also be available from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, though wait times are likely to be higher than usual. Response times for non-urgent inquiries and services are also expected to be impacted. Updates to services will be available on the WSIB's website ( and on X @WSIB.
