According to police, the victim was stabbed during an unprovoked fight with a male and female suspect. The suspects fled the scene before police arrived.

The man was taken to the hospital in unstable condition but has since been upgraded to stable condition.

The major crimes unit is investigating and working with Winnipeg Transit to create descriptions of the suspects.
