Winnipeg police are asking the public to help identify a suspect involved in a machete attack last month.
According to a news release, the incident occurred shortly after 5 a.m. on Oct. 25. A 56-year-old man was walking eastbound on Ellice Avenue near Beverley Street when he was attacked by someone believed to be armed with a machete, police said.
The victim was treated for life-threatening injuries. Police said the attack was unprovoked and the suspect and victim didn’t know each other.
