Machete attack in Winnipeg leaves 18-year-old man with life-threatening injuries
An 18-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries when he was attacked with a machete by a man on a bicycle in Winnipeg's North End, police say. Police were called around 4:30 a.m. on July 13 to the corner of Selkirk Avenue and Parr Street, where the man was lying outside a convenience store. He was bleeding profusely and rushed to hospital in critical condition, police said in a news release on Tuesday. Officers immediately contained the area and spoke with people in the area. The victim was with a teenage girl when they approached a man riding a bicycle to ask if he could lend them money for something from the store, the news release says. Without warning, the cyclist attacked the man before riding off, police said. A passing driver stopped to help and called 911. Another witness stopped and provided emergency medical care until paramedics arrived. The victim has since been upgraded to stable condition but no arrests have been made. The attack happened five days before three teens, one armed with a machete, attacked a 14-year-old boy at Polo Park shopping mall. The teen was hit multiple times by a machete and suffered a "significant injury" to his hand, police said. Three boys, age 13, 14 and 15, were arrested nearby. Police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying the attacker in the July 13 incident. The only description they have is that he was carrying a black backpack and wearing a ball cap that may have had a white NY Yankees logo on the front. He was riding a BMX-style bicycle and last seen riding on Selkirk toward Main Street.

Winnipeg's emergency services system leaves vulnerable people at risk, says outreach group
Social Sharing A Winnipeg outreach organization is questioning the city's emergency services system after a young woman was left waiting for an ambulance for three hours while experiencing a mental-health crisis on Saturday in the North End. In a statement posted to Facebook, Morgan's Warriors said group members encountered the woman, who was barefoot, limping and appeared to be in a state of psychosis, near Selkirk Avenue and Salter Street around 10:30 p.m. She had been reported to the group as missing from a First Nation in northeastern Manitoba last fall but was much thinner than the photo members had. Once they realized who it was, and learned the woman had a history of mental health issues and missing person reports, members called 911. A Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service truck arrived within minutes but the distressed woman began to wander away and the first responders never followed, according to the outreach group. The WFPS, in a statement to CBC News on Tuesday, said staff provides an "observational assessment" if a person flees from their crews. Wait for help during mental health emergency too long: outreach group 14 hours ago Duration 1:20 "If individuals decline assistance they must be competent and understand the risks associated with refusing assistance," the statement said. WFPS said crews typically call police if they believe a person is a danger to themselves or others. Members of Morgan's Warriors said they called 911 three more times after first responders left, until police showed up 30 minutes later. George Robinson, a search lead with the group that was at the scene on Saturday night, said members were "completely disregarded" once police arrived. "We had the feeling that we weren't wanted there. But we knew if we left, they would leave," he said. It was three hours before the ambulance arrived and the woman, who had been sitting agitated in the grass with police nearby, was taken to hospital around 1:30 a.m. Sunday. "I thank God all the time that we're out there. We're in places where [first responders] can't be and we've saved lives," said Morgan's Warriors founder Melissa Robinson, but "we just don't have enough people on the streets." Both Melissa and George Robinson said they would like to see communication between police, firefighters, paramedics and community services change, especially when it comes to missing persons cases. Despite her history of missing person reports, the woman had not been listed with the Winnipeg Police Service as missing at the time officers responded Saturday, the WPS told CBC News in an email Tuesday. Officers contacted the woman's family before she was transported to hospital, the WPS said. Melissa Robinson said that many families of missing Indigenous women have lost faith in the police and look elsewhere for help. Morgan's Warriors posts missing persons reports to their website on behalf of families looking for their loved ones. "Not everything that we post has an incident number, missing persons file number. We do it because family reaches out to us and because the police are of no help. The police won't file a report, and we hear that so often," she said. "You have families that don't even want to reach out to the police for assistance because they're not taking them seriously." George Robinson said the outreach group doesn't know where the woman is now, or if she's safe. The WFPS said it could not comment on its response as medical calls are covered under the confidentiality of the Personal Health Information Act. "We're still looking for her, still looking out for her. We won't give up, even if she did leave the hospital," George Robinson said.

Heck's rebuild has PNE 'looking stronger' already
The Paul Heckingbottom rebuild is well under a dozen new players registered before the second week of July, which is ideal for a North End boss experiencing pre-season with the club for the first each position should have two players. There is still work to do in that regard, but you can see signs that Heckingbottom's strongest XI (if there is such a thing these days) is looking stronger than it did in Iversen will be the undisputed number one. If he's fit, he plays. A seven-figure sum for Odel Offiah from Brighton would also indicate he'll be at the forefront of the manager's less than a year, Heckingbottom has changed his number one, added two centre-backs (Offiah and Gibson) and both wing-back positions have undergone surgery with Pol Valentin and Thierry Small arriving to replace Premier League loan go-to formation has been a back three, but Offiah could open the door to switch to a four, should he mix things up from time to time. Offiah's loan at Blackpool last season saw him have a prolonged spell at arrival from Charlton has excited the fan base. This will be his first taste of Championship action at the age of 20 and perhaps he needs time to settle in to the level. His only season of regular first-team football was a promotion with Charlton last season from League offers more experience at 28 and has been in and out of Sheffield Wednesday's starting XI over the past two forward area is the one in most need of further reinforcements. Emil Riis and Ched Evans are no longer on the Keane and Milutin Osmajic have both been linked with moves away but a departure for either is extremely unlikely unless the numbers in that department drastically international Daniel Jebbison, a loan arrival from Bournemouth, has played under Heckingbottom before at Sheffield United, and he's come to play. His goal output is an area to work on, but with regular football and belief from his manager, he'll be given every a case of watch this space for more forwards to move to Deepdale. If another loan from a top-flight club is being sought, that might have to wait for Premier League overseas trips to for the engine room, Jordan Thompson is a reliable option with Championship experience under his belt. He's made 42 starts in the last three second-tier seasons and addresses Heckingbottom's admission that his midfield was lacking left-footed six in, so far… it wouldn't be a shock if we're talking double figures in terms of arrivals by the time the window closes.
