Calgary police lay charges in 'random' September stabbing attacks

The victims and suspect were unknown to each other, and CPS believes the attacks were both random in nature

Calgary police have arrested a man for two separate stabbing incidents last month in the downtown — one of which left the victim with life-threatening injuries.

The charges relate to an incident on Sept. 8, when police were called to Century Gardens Park in the 800 block of 8th Street S.W., for a reported stabbing at approximately 9:30 p.m. According to a Calgary Police Service news release Thursday, the suspect fled on foot, while the victim was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition.
