On Tuesday, just after 7:30 p.m., police responded to the 1400 block of Ashgrove Road South after receiving a 911 call reporting two men had been assaulted. Upon arrival police located two 20-yearold men with stab wounds.
The victims were transported to Chinook Regional Hospital and one of the men was subsequently transferred to Calgary. Both remain in hospital in serious but stable condition.
Police say the investigation determined a group of people inside an apartment were involved in a dispute which escalated to a physical altercation. The parties involved are known to each other.
