Winnipeg Police have three males in custody for two different unrelated stabbings.
Just after 8:20 pm on Friday, April 13, 2018 police responded to the first 100 block of Agnes Arnold Place. When officers arrived they found a 21-year-old man had been stabbed in the upper body. Paramedics took the victim to hospital in unstable condition but he has now been upgraded to stable.
Investigators say that an argument broke out between two people but when it escalated a third male intervened and the stabbing occurred.

Less than an hour later officers responded to another stabbing, this time in the 300 block of Portage Avenue.
