A 44-year-old man is facing aggravated assault charges after a stabbing in Calgary’s downtown early Sunday morning.

Calgary police say a 43-year-old man was slashed once in the abdomen in a fight outside the Tim Hortons restaurant on 4 Street SE around 6:45 a.m.

He walked to the Sheldon Chumir Centre for treatment and medical staff contacted police.

Investigators describe the victim’s injuries as non-life threatening.

The man also provided few details to police about the incident.

Officers were able to find surveillance footage from the area where the stabbing occurred. Eventually, a video capturing the incident was located.

Several hours later, police arrested the offender and charged him.
