Meanwhile police are also investigating a stabbing in the city’s midtown neighbourhood Saturday night.

A 24-year-old woman was transported by ambulance to hospital with unknown injuries.

In an unrelated case, a man who allegedly attacked another man with a hammer and an axe is on the run from police.

The incident happened Monday morning in the 700 block of Fourth St. E. Police said the victim and the accused know each other, but they are not releasing the suspect’s name at this time as no actual charges have been laid.
