Three hospitalized following string of stabbings in Winnipeg: police
Winnipeg police on scene in the area of Portage Avenue and Vaughan Street on June 5, 2025. (Tim Salzen/CTV News) Several people have been arrested, and three people were sent to the hospital following a string of unrelated violent crimes in Winnipeg on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The first incident took place around 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday when a man in his 20s was robbed and stabbed by an unknown assailant near Dakota/Abinoji Mikanah. The suspect fled the scene and has not been arrested, while the victim was taken to the hospital in stable condition. The action continued at 7 p.m. when a man in his 40s, who was cutting grass in the 500 block of Henderson Highway, was robbed of his sunglasses and attacked with a machete. A nearby off-duty officer intervened, called for backup, and chased after the suspect, who had fled on his bike. East district officers and the tactical support team eventually stopped and took the suspect—a 28-year-old man—into custody. The third incident began around 7:20 p.m. when Winnipeg officers conducted a traffic stop at Cambridge Street and Yale Avenue as part of a gun investigation. Police seized crack cocaine and a loaded Glock handgun and arrested several people. The crimes continued at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday. At this time, police responded to a stabbing in the 300 block of McKelvey Street that took place during a 'group confrontation.' The group left the scene before officers arrived, and the victim was taken to the hospital. No arrests have been made. The final incident took place at 3 a.m. on Thursday when officers were notified of a stabbing in the area of Portage Avenue and Vaughan Street. The victim—a man in his 40s—was taken to the hospital in stable condition. No arrests have been made, and police continue to investigate. Anyone with information on any of these incidents is asked to call police at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
