Winnipeg police say two women with large knives threatened various bystanders and stabbed a man on Saturday evening in the 500 block of Ellice Avenue.
Police say it started with one of the women puncturing the tires of two vehicles in a nearby parking lot and chasing bystanders in the area.
Investigators say a 54-year-old male acquaintance was stabbed while trying to intervene. He later declined medical attention.
