Police have arrested a 53-year-old man suspected of stabbing a woman and stealing her vehicle before throwing his body under a moving semi-trailer truck.

Winnipeg police responded to a report that a woman was stabbed on Greenway Crescent W., north of Portage Avenue and west of Sturgeon Creek, on Saturday night.

She had upper body injuries and was taken to hospital in critical condition.

She later told police that the man drove off in her vehicle.

He was arrested for:

Attempt to commit murder.

Charges have yet to be laid.

The suspect is being treated in hospital and is expected to face a bail hearing this evening.
