Police arrested a 43-year-old man who is now charged with assault causing bodily harm. The victim, a 32-year-old man, was taken to a local hospital for treatment, and police said his injuries were not believed to be life threatening.
The second stabbing happened Sunday afternoon. Police were called to hospital where a woman was seeking medical attention for “several stab wounds.”
Police said officers determined that she was stabbed at an apartment on Avenue R South in the city’s Pleasant Hill neighbourhood.
The third case happened shortly before 10 p.m. on Sunday, when officers were called to the 1300 block of Eighth Street East where a 32-year-old woman was suffering from a stab wound.
“Through further investigation, police learned the victim had reportedly been confined to a motel room and stabbed. She was transported to hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries,” the Saskatoon Police Service explained in a statement.
“The Saskatoon Police Serious Assault Unit is investigating.”
Anyone with information on any of the alleged attacks was asked to contact police or make an anonymous report through Crime Stoppers.
