Calgary/CMEDIA: Police are reportedly in search of suspects after multiple people were stabbed in a targeted attack at the Calgary Stampede.
Police officers were called to the Euroslide, one of the rides on the Stampede Midway at about 11:05 p.m. on Tuesday and found an injured man at the scene and was taken to hospital in life-threatening, but stable, condition.
The police responded a short time later to two additional reports of people in medical distress.
The first was a youth, found near 17 Avenue and Macleod Trail S.E., and a man, found near Erlton Street and 27 Avenue S.W.
Police have since determined that both of those individuals were victims of the same attack on the Midway.
Both victims were taken to hospital in serious but stable condition.
No arrests have been made.
The public are being asked by the officials to come forward with information about the attack, as it’s believed there were several witnesses to the stabbing and some may have recorded it on their cellphones.
Further information will be shared as it becomes available.
