The Dauphin RCMP responded to a stabbing in an alley behind 2nd Avenue SW in Dauphin around 1:00 am on Sunday, May 29th. Officers arrived at the scene to find a 21-year-old woman with multiple stab wounds along with a 20-year-old man with a single stab wound. Both of them were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The RCMP's preliminary investigation revealed that the victims were walking along the street when they saw a group of men chasing another group. The couple attempted to avoid the fight by heading into the back alley, where the group of people being chased then ran past them. The couple were attacked and stabbed by suspects in the second group as they passed them in the back alley.
Officers in the area also found a 17-year-old male who they consider to be one of the suspects involved. He was arrested, but resisted, which resulted in a minor injury. He was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure and was later released from the hospital and remanded into custody.
The Dauphin RCMP continue to search for the other suspects and are asking anyone with information regarding this assault to contact them at 204-622-5020, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or submit a secure tip online here.
