Charges are pending against two suspects in connection with a “stabbing incident” after three injured people were found on a central Edmonton street on Sunday, according to police.
In an email issued late Sunday night, a police spokesperson said police officers passing by 101st Street and 107th Avenue were flagged down by someone just before 4 p.m.
“Upon arrival, police found three injured individuals on the street,” the spokesperson said. “It was reported to police that two males, aged 57 and 45, were involved in a physical altercation involving knives.
“The two males were treated and transported to hospital with serious injuries.”
The third person officers found at the scene was a 33-year-old woman who police said was also taken to hospital. Her injuries were considered to be minor.

Pedestrian hit by car across the street from stabbing
On Monday morning, police told Global News in an email that at “around the same time” as the stabbing incident occurred on Sunday, a car that was being driven in the area “reportedly lost control and jumped the curb,” hitting a 32-year-old man who was walking at the time.
They said the collision occurred across the street from the stabbing scene. Paramedics treated the pedestrian who was struck and he was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
A police spokesperson said investigators believe that the stabbing and the collision “appear to be separate incidents” but an investigation is ongoing.
Police did not announce any charges in connection with the collision.
