Winnipeg police officers are investigating a stabbing in the city’s North End on Thursday.

Police said they were called to the area of Selkirk Avenue and McGregor Street just after 9:30 p.m.

Images show a large police presence and yellow police tape surrounding a business in the area.

When police got to the scene, they found a man with injuries to his upper body from an “edged weapon.”

A 29-year-old man was taken to hospital in critical condition, but has since been upgraded to stable. Officers are still looking for the suspect.

Police did not provide many details about the victim, but the Bear Clan said its volunteers helped the man after he was hurt.

CTV News Winnipeg will provide more details on the situation as they become available.

Correction

CORRECTION: A previous version of the story said the victim was a Bear Clan volunteer. However, the victim was not a volunteer of the group, but rather helped out by the Bear Clan after he was hurt.
