An Ottawa man sought by police after a stabbing outside the Ikea in the city’s west end earlier this month has turned himself in, the Ottawa Police Service said Monday.
The stabbing happened just before noon on Nov. 8 and left two men with serious, non-life-threatening injuries, Ottawa police said that day.
Investigators had originally been looking to identify two suspects in relation to the stabbing. A spokesperson for the police force confirmed Monday that investigators later identified both people and issued an arrest warrant for one.
