In the wake of a brutal assault on Tuesday evening, a young man is battling for his life in a hospital in Southeast Calgary. His injuries, inflicted in a violent confrontation involving a knife and bear spray, are gravely serious.
The incident unfolded around 7:45 p.m. in an athletic park nestled along Copperstone Road S.E., according to authorities. The victim, an 18-year-old male, was not only stabbed but also assaulted with bear spray in this outrageous act of violence.
Emergency medical services responded promptly to the scene, confirming that the injuries sustained by the victim were indeed life-threatening. The distressed youth was rushed to the hospital, where currently he continues his arduous struggle for survival.
While the 18-year-old was the only individual necessitating ambulance transportation, the local paramedics expressed concern that others in the vicinity may have suffered the effects of the bear spray, which had clouded the crime scene.
The investigation is ongoing but thus far, no suspect is in custody. Additionally, the police have yet to release any suspect descriptions. However, authorities have assured that extensive interviews are being conducted among witnesses as they labor to piece together the chilling events of the evening.
