Winnipeg baby critical after stabbing
2nd violent incident this month involving a child at north end housing complex
A baby boy was in critical condition in a Winnipeg hospital Sunday after being stabbed at a Shaughnessey Heights public housing complex.
Paramedics and police were called to an apartment at the Gilbert Avenue complex in the city's north end around 4 p.m. Saturday.
Witnesses said three adults emerged from a residence at the complex with an eight-month-old baby boy in tow.
Alicia Moar said the adults appeared to be fighting and the baby was bleeding heavily.
"I ran inside to get a towel and I just came back and the baby had a really big gash over his head.... It was big. You could tell it had lost a lot of blood," Moar said.
Moar said a man was holding the baby as a woman tried to get it away from him. Another woman was trying to stop the struggle because the child's injury was so severe.
A man and a woman, who residents identified as the child's parents, were arrested and taken away by police.
The Winnipeg police child abuse unit is investigating.
More details on the case are expected from police by Sunday afternoon.
The incident took place just metres from where 14-month-old Vanessa Houle had her head repeatedly bashed into a sidewalk earlier this month. Police said Houle had just been abducted by a woman who attacked her.

This is getting ridiculous. No wonder I moved away from that bloody place.
