Waterloo Regional Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in a pair of stabbings that were discovered over a 10-minute span in Uptown last month.

In an effort to get some help from the public, police have released an image of a man they believe might be involved.

At around 12:10 a.m. on Aug. 12, a stabbing was reported in the area around King and Princess streets.

About 10 minutes later, police received more calls, this time reporting that a second man had been stabbed near King and Dupont streets.

Police say both men, aged 21 and 22, were taken to out-of-region hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

The police investigation discovered that there was an argument outside a bar near King and Princess streets between two groups of people. The argument escalated before one man was stabbed.
