Winnipeg police are looking for information about a machete attack they say was likely random and unprovoked in St. James Thursday.
Officers were called to the intersection of Mount Royal Road and Ness Avenue around 1:30 p.m., where they found a 50-year-old victim who had been assaulted. He was taken to hospital in stable condition. The suspect had fled the scene before police arrived.
According to police, the suspect and victim were riding the same Winnipeg Transit bus and got off at the same stop at Mount Royal and Ness, when the suspect hit the victim in the lower body with a machete.
No arrests have been made, and major crimes investigators are reaching out to the public for any additional details.
