On September 2, 2022, at 7:29 p.m., North District General Patrol members, with the assistance of the Tactical Support Team, responded to a residence in the 700 block of Flora Avenue for a report of a male that was attempting to stab other individuals.
Upon arrival, officers located three victims that had been stabbed and began to administer emergency medical care. A female in her twenties and a male in his thirties were transported to a hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable condition. A second female in her twenties was transported to a hospital in stable condition.
A male suspect was located in the area of Selkirk Avenue and McKenzie Street, at which time he was placed under arrest and was found to have sustained a stab wound injury himself. The suspect was transported to a hospital in unstable condition, where he was treated and released into police custody.
