A 44-year-old woman is in hospital in critical condition after she was stabbed Saturday night. Her alleged attacker is in hospital after running into traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway.

The incident was one of four stabbings, two shootings, an aggravated assault, and a robbery involving assault that took place in Winnipeg during the Canada Day long weekend, according to police.

The woman sustained severe upper-body injuries in a domestic assault at about 10 p.m. on the 100 block of Greenway Crescent, the Winnipeg Police Service said Tuesday in a media release.

The RCMP arrested a 53-year-old suspect some time later on the 4100 block of Portage Avenue. The man had reportedly fled in the victim’s vehicle and was travelling westbound on Provincial Trunk Highway 1 when the vehicle veered into oncoming traffic and hit a transport truck.

The suspect abandoned the vehicle and ran into the path of another transport truck, police said.

He was taken to hospital and is under police custody. Pending charges include attempted murder, aggravated assault, motor vehicle theft, weapons charges, and dangerous operation of a vehicle.

The delay in the charges being laid was due to technical issues, WPS Const. Tammy Skrabek said Tuesday.

"He's still in the hospital and there was some issues with telecommunications (which delayed his bail hearing)," she said. "The charges will be that — but at this point, he has not yet been charged through the courts."

Meanwhile, a woman who was attacked with a "bladed weapon" at about 6:40 a.m. Saturday has been upgraded to stable condition from critical condition. She was injured in the area of Kate Street and Notre Dame Avenue; details on the weapon have not been released.

A man who was stabbed at about 3 a.m. Sunday, after he was attacked at a restaurant/bar on the 200 block of Edmonton Street, is in stable condition in hospital. Police said officers found the victim on the 400 block of Portage Avenue near Kennedy Street, after he had walked away from the scene. Another man who tried to intervene in the attack received minor lacerations and was treated in hospital, the WPS said.

About an hour later, officers located a 23-year-old man who had been stabbed in the upper body on the 3100 block of Pembina Highway. A 31-year-old woman was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and failing to comply with a recognizance order.

Earlier, a man was left in critical condition Saturday, after he was assaulted twice within hours and suffered head injuries in both incidents. A suspect was arrested and charged Monday.

City police said an argument broke out between two men during a gathering at a residence on Euclid Avenue. One man punched the other, who fell and hit his head. The victim was taken to hospital, but left before being treated.

The man returned to the Euclid Avenue home, and the argument renewed, police said. The suspect punched the victim again; the victim again fell and hit his head, losing consciousness, police said. The suspect fled the scene.

Darius Francis Harvey Maytwayashing, 21, of Winnipeg is in custody and charged with aggravated assault.

Meanwhile, two shootings during separate incidents over the long weekend have left two men in hospital in stable condition, Winnipeg police said.

A man was shot in the upper body Saturday at about 3 a.m. in the area of Langside Street and Sara Avenue.

Another man was shot Sunday at about 6 a.m. on the 300 block of Manitoba Avenue.

Anyone with information that may assist investigators in the major crimes unit is asked to call 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
