A 28-year-old man had to undergo emergency surgery after being assaulted early Sunday morning.
Just after 4 a.m. yesterday, the Winnipeg Police Service was called to an apartment complex in the 100 block of Young Street for the report of a stabbing.
When officers arrived, they found a 28-year-old man suffering from stab wounds to his upper body. Officers applied a chest seal while waiting for paramedics to arrive. The victim was transported to hospital in critical condition where he underwent emergency surgery.
