Winnipeg police had a busy night, dealing with multiple unrelated weapons incidents all over town.

Police said a series of violent incidents between Wednesday and Thursday ultimately led to five arrests — with the potential for more to come — and three people taken to hospital.

The first incident took place late Wednesday afternoon, when police found a stabbing victim near Abinoji Mikanah and Dakota Street. The suspect had fled the scene before police arrived, and the victim was taken to hospital in stable condition.

Barely an hour and a half later, a man in his 40s was mowing his lawn on Henderson Highway, when a suspect with a machete appeared and demanded sunglasses, police said, before allegedly assaulting the man with the weapon and riding off on a bike.
