A security guard is in stable condition after he was attacked with a metal object and robbed in downtown Winnipeg Friday afternoon, police say.
Police were called around 1:45 p.m. with reports of a robbery in the 300 block of Main Street, near Portage Avenue.
Officers learned a man working as a security guard was outside a building when he noticed someone rummaging through his property, which was sitting on the ground nearby.
The guard approached the other person and was struck on the head with a metal object, police said in a Saturday news release. The attacker then ran off with the man’s property.
A person driving by stopped and helped the guard, who was taken to hospital in stable condition.
Police are asking anyone with information on the incident to contact police or make an anonymous tip online with Crime Stoppers.
