Winnipeg police are investigating a stabbing incident that put a 14-year-old boy in hospital earlier this month.
Officers were called to the area of Marbury Road and Jefferson Avenue on the evening of June 4, where they found the teenage victim, who was taken to hospital in stable condition. Police said the teen had “significant” injuries caused by a sharp-edged weapon, and would need surgery as a result.
After an investigation, police determined that the incident began with an argument between two groups of young people on a Winnipeg Transit bus, that began in the St. James neighbourhood and escalated into physical violence after both groups got off the bus in the Maples area.
The major crimes unit is looking for help identifying a suspect in the incident, and anyone with information or video footage is asked to call police at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
