Winnipeg police say they went to the 1800 block of Ellice Avenue just before 8 p.m. on Sunday and found a 28-year-old woman who had been stabbed. She was taken to hospital in unstable condition but later upgraded to stable condition.

Investigators say the victim approached the suspects “occupying” a bus shelter when an argument broke out. The verbal fight turned physical when one of the suspects pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times.
