A man who was rushed to hospital in critical condition after being stabbed Thursday night in Winnipeg has died, police say.

Officers were called to an area near the Airport Motor Inn on Ellice Avenue around 10 p.m. Thursday, where they found the 47-year-old with life-threatening injuries from being stabbed.

Police gave the man emergency medical attention before he was taken to hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead.

A 42-year-old man suspected in the stabbing was arrested nearby, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a news release Friday.

Police said the homicide unit has taken over the investigation. The victim’s family is being notified.

A news conference is being held Friday morning, where police will provide more details about the homicide.

A police car is parked near a taped-off road. It is night time. The lights of a hotel can be seen in the background.
