According to a release from the Winkler Police Service posted on Facebook, officers were called to a local motel around 4:35 a.m. on Sunday. When they arrived, they found a 48-year-old man suffering from multiple stab wounds and were told the suspect had gotten away.
"Police administered first aid to the male until paramedics from Boundary Trails Health Centre arrived and transported the victim to hospital," the release reads.
