Windsor police say they are looking for three suspects in connection with a downtown stabbing.
Police were called shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday to the area of Ouellette Avenue and University Avenue East on a report of an assault that had just taken place. When they arrived, they encountered a male suffering from injuries received from assault and stabbing. He was treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
Investigators told BlackburnNewsWindsor.com on Saturday that they did not believe the attack was random.
Information given to police showed that the victim had been speaking to the three men inside a nearby restaurant shortly before the attack. The victim left the restaurant and met the suspects in a nearby alley where the assault took place. The men fled and the victim returned to the intersection to get help.
The involved suspects are all described as male, approximately 5'6" tall, weighing 130 to 140 pounds, and approximately 25 years old with black hair. One suspect was described as wearing gold coloured clothing, while a second was reported to be wearing a dark blue shirt. All three suspects spoke with accents.
The WPS Major Crimes Division is actively investigating this incident. Anyone with information is asked to call Windsor police at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4830. Anonymous tips can be phoned into Crime Stoppers at (519) 258-TIPS (8477) or submitted online.
