Calgary police have released the identity of a man stabbed to death at James Short Park last week.
Paul March, 62, was walking past the downtown park at around 7 p.m. on June 30 when he heard a man and woman fighting.
Police said March confronted the man, at which time the suspect pulled out a knife and threatened him.
March turned to run but tripped over and fell onto the back bumper of a red or burgundy SUV stopped in the eastbound lane of 5 Avenue Southwest near the intersection with Centre Street.
Police said it was then that the suspect caught up with March and stabbed him.
He was rushed to hospital but died on July 3.
Police are still searching for the suspect, as well as the driver of the SUV March fell onto.
