Charges laid in Sunalta stabbing

One man has been charged following an investigation into an assault with a weapon that left another man with life-threatening injuries in the community of Sunalta.

On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at approximately 7 a.m., police responded to reports of a stabbing that occurred outside of the Sunalta CTrain station.

It is believed that the suspect was involved in an earlier altercation with four individuals in the 1700 block of 11 Avenue S.W. Witnesses intervened and separated those involved. A short time later, the suspect returned to the area and stabbed one of the individuals.

The victim was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries and has since been upgraded to stable condition.

Attending officers quickly identified the suspect, who was located at a nearby residence and was arrested without further incident.

While early information may suggest this was a targeted incident, any act of violence in our city is deeply concerning and taken very seriously.

Fuad Abdi YUSUF, 31, has been charged with

  • One count of aggravated assault
  • One count of possession of a dangerous weapon
  • One count of personation with intent
  • One count of obstruction of a peace officer
  • One count of identity fraud
  • Three counts of failure to comply

YUSUF will next appear in court on Wednesday, July 15, 2026.
