A confrontation at a North Kildonan crossing turned violent Sunday afternoon when a man stabbed a driver while the attacker’s children watched.

At about 4:20 p.m., the victim was driving on Sutton Avenue, about to turn onto Henderson Highway, when a man and his three children tried to cross in front of the vehicle.

When the man made it across the street, he began yelling at the victim. Those shouts soon turned violent when the pedestrian assaulted the driver and stabbed him in the upper body with an undisclosed weapon.

The man left the area, and the victim phoned police. His injuries were not life-threatening. Police located a suspect a short time later.

A 31-year-old man was arrested and is facing charges including aggravated assault, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and breach of probation. He was released on a promise to appear.
