WINNIPEG – CRIME REPORT – The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) is investigating a violent assault that left a 14-year-old girl hospitalized after she was stabbed multiple times in Winnipeg’s Westdale neighbourhood.
The incident occurred on May 15, 2025, at approximately 6:00 p.m., when officers responded to a residence on the first 100 block of Westgrove Way following reports of a stabbing.
When officers arrived, they located a 14-year-old female suffering from multiple upper-body injuries. Emergency responders, including paramedics, provided immediate life-saving medical aid using a chest seal at the scene.
The victim was transported to hospital in unstable condition, but her condition was later upgraded to stable.
Assault Stems from Earlier Argument
According to the WPS Major Crimes Unit, which is now leading the investigation, the altercation began earlier that day when the victim encountered two other female youths outside a retail business in the 6600 block of Robin Boulevard.
A verbal dispute escalated, leading to a physical assault, during which the victim was stabbed multiple times with a sharp-edged weapon. The two suspects then fled the scene.

By 7:00 p.m., officers located and arrested one female youth suspect at a residence in the 700 block of Dale Boulevard without incident.
