A 36-year-old man is recovering in hospital after being attacked in his home early Christmas morning.
The Winnipeg Police Service says they responded to a townhouse in the 1700 block of St. Mary’s Road just after 3 a.m.
East District Patrol officers, with the assistance of the K9 Unit, attended and located the lone victim suffering from serious injuries as a result of being assaulted with an edged weapon during the home invasion.
Police say that the victim fled before police arrived.
Attending officers provided emergency medical care for the victim until members of Winnipeg Fire and Paramedics arrived.
The man was taken to hospital in unstable condition, however, police say that he has since been upgraded to stable.
The Major Crimes Unit has assumed the investigation and is working to determine an updated description of the suspect.
