Man assaulted with weapon by Winnipeg airport hotel

Winnipeg police are investigating an assault that happened at a St. James hotel early Sunday morning.

Officers were called to the Airport Motor Inn around 2:40 a.m. after a man was attacked.

“We have one male adult — he’s in stable condition currently,” Const. Rob Carver said. “I can tell you he was assaulted with a weapon but I don’t have details beyond that that I can release.”

Photos from the scene show police tape wrapped around the front of the motel all the way to Ellice Avenue.

“We do have a number of police units there still wrapping this investigation up, but there shouldn’t be any traffic issues,” Const. Carver said Sunday morning.

No arrests have been made, and it’s not clear if the assault was a one-on-one incident. 

It’s also unclear what sparked the assault.
