Winnipeg police have arrested three people in connection with a Canada Day stabbing in The Forks.

It happened on July 1, 2022, around 10:45 PM in front of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights. The victim was a recent Ukrainian refugee now living in Winnipeg.

Investigators say they reviewed hours of CCTV surveillance to identify a suspicious group. They then worked with general patrol officers to locate the suspects.

Police have arrested Tyson Cole Steven Bechard and Jaden Kyle Martin, both 19, and a 15-year-old male. All three remain in custody and face charges of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon. The 15-year-old is facing robbery charges in an unrelated incident.

The charges against all three have not been proven in court.
