Two individuals were assaulted in downtown Winnipeg on Sunday evening, and three men have been arrested in connection with the incident.
Winnipeg Police Service officers responded to a report of an assault in the 200 block of Hargrave Street at approximately 7:15 p.m. on March 23, 2025. Upon arrival, officers located a 24-year-old female victim and a 30-year-old male victim, both suffering injuries.
According to the police investigation, the victims were walking southbound on Hargrave Street from Graham Avenue when they were approached by three adult males. A verbal confrontation ensued, which quickly escalated into a physical altercation. The suspects allegedly assaulted the female victim first, and then attacked the male victim when he attempted to intervene.

Officers located and arrested the suspects nearby without incident. The victims declined medical attention. Police confirmed that the victims and the suspects were not previously known to each other.
A 26-year-old male and a 27-year-old male, both from Winnipeg, have been charged with two counts of assault each. They were released on Undertakings, as mandated by the Criminal Code. A 31-year-old male, also from Winnipeg, was detained under the Intoxicated Persons Detention Act.
