Argument over living arrangements leads to stabbing: Winnipeg police

A 37-year-old man was hospitalized after he was stabbed late Friday night.

Winnipeg police were called to a residence on Corydon Avenue shortly before midnight.

In a Sunday release, police said officers found the victim suffering from serious upper-body injuries. They provided him with emergency medical care before he was taken to hospital in critical condition. Police said he was later upgraded to stable.

Officers arrested a 29-year-old man inside the home without incident.
