Winnipeg, Manitoba – On January 29, 2022, at approximately 1:40 p.m., a male suspect was at a shelter in the South Point Douglas area when he became involved in an argument with another man. The argument escalated, and the suspect aggressively brandished a knife.
Shelter staff attempted to deescalate the situation while the Winnipeg Police Service was contacted; however, the suspect fled the building in an attempt to find the other man (who had just left on foot).
