Main Street assault leaves man with fatal injuries; Winnipeg police investigating
The Winnipeg Police Service is investigating a homicide after a man died from life-altering injuries he sustained during an assault on Main Street earlier this month.
The investigation began on April 11 around 12:30 a.m., when officers were called to the 300 block of Princess Avenue for a report of a man who had been assaulted.
Officers responded and met with a 25-year-old man, who was then taken to the hospital in unstable condition.
