WINNIPEG – Police arrested a man, on probation, Saturday that stabbed an 18-year-old man in broad daylight on Pembina Highway.
Police said on Friday around 11:30AM they responded to a call in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 1800 block of Pembina Highway. An 18-year-old man was in the parking lot, suffering from numerous stab wounds to his upper body, was taken to hospital in critical condition. He was later upgraded to stable condition.
