A man has been sent to hospital in critical life-threatening condition after a stabbing in the Brentwood area in the city’s northwest Friday evening.
CityNews reports that police tape surrounds an area that includes the Brentwood Co-op Redevelopment, otherwise known as Brentwood Commons, which is near the Brentwood Village Mall.
Calgary police say they responded to calls of an assault and arrived at the scene just before 6 p.m.
EMS told CityNews that the man is between 25-30 years old and was sent to hospital at around 6:30 p.m. with stab wounds.
“I saw a body there,” said one resident of Brentwood Commons. “And EMS was … treating the guy. And I’m really not sure what happened here. So I’m just waiting for the police to let me enter my home,” the man said.

Traffic was reported as causing congestion, but that was cleared up quickly.
Police say they are still working on identifying the victim.
There is no word on any suspects or arrests made.
This is a developing story, and CityNews will provide an update when available.
