The stabbing of a teenager in downtown Saskatoon last week has left one family in shock and looking for answers.
The stabbing of a teenager outside Saskatoon's downtown mall last week has left one family in shock and looking for answers.
The aunt of the victim, who witnessed part of the incident, says she can’t return to work at the mall and she’s in therapy to try and deal with the ordeal.
Sandra Wiebe says she's still reeling from witnessing her 16-year-old nephew being attacked in the middle of the day on First Avenue. She believes it was random and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Wiebe has worked at Midtown for four years. Last Thursday she says her nephew paid her a visit. Afterwards while he was waiting outside for the bus on First Avenue, she looked over and saw the teen in a confrontation with a group of two men and a woman which turned into a fistfight.
“I started running towards him. The next thing I know, he’s freaking out. He’s got blood pouring out of his head,” Wiebe told CTV News.
She called an ambulance — which she says came quickly — and says she is grateful mall customers and other staff jumped in quickly to try to help.
“I’m thankful for that because my nephew was bleeding bad,” she says.
