Edmonton police are seeking two suspects after a midday stabbing at a west-end convenience store last month.
On May 21, officers responded to a noon report of a robbery at a convenience store in the area of 157 Street and Stony Plain Road, police said in a Tuesday news release.
Police said a man and a woman entered the store and began shoplifting items when a convenience store clerk approached them, resulting in a confrontation. In the ensuing struggle, the clerk, a 44-year-old man, was stabbed, police said.
He was treated on scene by EMS paramedics and taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
“Public safety requires a collaboration between police and the community,” said EPS Const. Roy Pickell, in the news release. “We’re hopeful that with the public’s assistance we can identify the individuals responsible.”
Police describe the two suspects as a man wearing a black t-shirt with white graphics on the front, black track pants, black boots, and carrying a black backpack; and a woman wearing maroon-coloured pants and jacket, black boots, and carrying a black bag.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
