A man has been arrested and charged after a stabbing outside the New West Hotel on Main Street.

On Tuesday, at around 7:30 a.m., Winnipeg police responded to the 700 block of Main Street for a report of an injured male that had walked into a business.

Upon arrival, officers found a 25-year-old man suffering from stab wounds, according to a media release.

He was transported to hospital in stable condition.

Police identified a male suspect and shortly before 1 p.m., a patrol unit located him inside the New West Hotel. The man resisted arrest and threatened officers with a knife. He was taken into custody soon after.

Members of the Major Crimes Unit continued to investigate.

It is believed that the suspect and victim were involved in a fight outside of the hotel, at which time the victim was struck with an imitation firearm and stabbed numerous times.
