A 19-year-old man is in custody in connection with a stabbing Thursday afternoon in northeast Winnipeg.
Officers were called to Jorowski Cove just after noon, where they found a 21-year-old victim with upper body stab wounds.
Police said they gave the man emergency medical care and he was taken to hospital in critical condition.
After the major crimes unit took over the investigation, police said they learned the suspect and victim were at a home in the area when a fight broke out, escalating to the point where the suspect allegedly produced a machete and stabbed the victim repeatedly.
