Crime Alert: Stabbing Near Bowman Street and Sackville Place

We have received reports that a stabbing took place sometime on Friday evening (October 21) between Berkeley Street/Carlton Street and Bowman Street/Sackville Place*. A man, reported to be in his 50s was earlier listed as being in critical condition but we have now heard that he has serious but non-life threatening injuries and is still in hospital. It is thought that there are at least two suspects and officers are still on the scene (October 22) trying to determine exactly when and where the incident occurred.

Investigations are ongoing. We will update this page as confirmed details become available.

Now that we know where the incident did occur, can we update this post? The address currently indicated in the headline shows where the subject lives (not where the incident happened, which is Berkeley & Carlton). Thank you

As far as I know, the exact location where the stabbing took place has not been announced and although the victim called from Bowman/Sackville, we haven’t had confirmation that they live there. The latest news we have is that the incident took place somewhere between Berkeley/Carlton and Bowman/Sackville Place, so the word “near” seems to still be accurate. If there has been any news that we’ve missed however, please do let us know.

We haven’t had any updates as to the victim’s condition, or heard anything new about the investigation to date. We are monitoring for updates of course, and we hope that the victim recovers quickly.
