A serious assault in Winnipeg has left a 56-year-old man in critical condition and police are seeking the public’s help in their investigation.
On May 25, at approximately 9:10 p.m., officers from the Winnipeg Police Service responded to a distress call from the 400 block of River Avenue. Upon arrival, they found an unconscious adult male who had been seriously assaulted.
The attending officers from the West District provided immediate emergency medical care to the victim before the arrival of an ambulance. The victim was then transported to a local hospital in serious condition, where he remains.
The suspect or suspects involved in the assault had fled the scene before the police arrived. The Major Crimes Unit has since taken over the investigation.
The Winnipeg Police Service is urging anyone with information or video surveillance, including dash cam footage, that may assist investigators to come forward.
