Winnipeg police are investigating after three men and one woman were stabbed over the weekend.

On Saturday, officers went to Ellice Avenue and Sherbrook Street at 1:20 a.m. after a report that a man had been stabbed.

Officers then found a 32-year-old man suffering from upper-body injuries which police described as “superficial.”

He was taken to the hospital in stable condition and treated.

Investigators believe several suspects approached the man in the 400 block of Sherbrook Street and then attacked and robbed him before running away.

Ten minutes later, police went to the 200 block of Stella Walk and found a 19-year-old man reported to have been stabbed.

Investigators believe the suspect approached the victim in the 800 block of Main Street, stabbed him unprovoked then ran off.

Later that same morning at 2 a.m., officers went to the 200 block of Austin Street after a report of a woman stabbed.

They found a 35-year-old woman suffering from a stab wound to her lower body. She was taken to the hospital in unstable condition but later upgraded to stable.
