Investigators with Niagara Regional Police Service have released an image of a suspect after a man was stabbed in St. Catharines during a robbery attempt.
Police say it happened on September 4 at around 10:35 p.m. in the Riordon Street and Gale Crescent area when the victim, a 46-year-old man, was walking with a friend.
Investigators said two suspects approached the duo and demanded property from the victim’s friend.
That led to an altercation that resulted in the victim being stabbed.
He was taken to a trauma centre with non-life-threatening injuries and is now recovering at home, police added.
A photo of one of the suspects has been released.
He’s described as a Black male in his late 20s with a medium build. He was wearing black pants, a black hooded sweatshirt with a T-shirt visible underneath and black running shoes with white sole at heel.
The second suspect is a Black male, 15-16 years old with a thin build. He was wearing grey pants and a white T-shirt with black running shoes and white soles.
