A person was stabbed during a fight at Market Mall in Calgary on Friday afternoon that saw three people taken to hospital, including one in life-threatening condition, and four people taken into custody.
Police were called to the mall around 2:30 p.m. for reports of a fight. They say when they arrived on the scene, they found a victim with serious injuries "consistent with stab wounds."
Another victim was also injured during the fight.
EMS confirmed three people in total were transported to hospital, including one in life-threatening condition and two others in non-life threatening condition.
Police said the people involved in the fight were known to each other and this was not a random attack.
During an interview on Friday, Staff Sgt. Lon Brewster with the Calgary Police Service said the fight involved two groups, but that the incident was not gang-related.
“This was two opposing groups that had some issues with each other that chose to try and settle that within the confines of the mall rather than somewhere else,” Brewster said.
