The serious assaults unit of the Saskatoon police is investigating a series of violent assaults and stabbings that occurred over the weekend.
On Friday, someone was attacked just before 9 p.m. in the 300 block of Avenue C South, according to a Saskatoon police news release. Police say the victim was assaulted by an unknown male who fled before officers arrived.
The victim was taken to hospital in stable condition.
Just before 1:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, officers were dispatched following a report that a man was laying in the street after being stabbed.
