A sharp-eyed bus passenger alerted police to a stabbing on Portage Avenue Thursday night.
Police said the caller, who was on a bus at the time, told police they saw a man being stabbed by another man, who then fled the scene on a bike. A passerby also alerted officers to the incident.
The victim was found in the 500 block of Portage with serious injuries, and after police gave him emergency medical care, including a chest seal, he was taken to hospital in unstable condition.
