A man was taken into custody after a stabbing at a business inside the Valley Mall in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, on Monday, September 14. Police said the victim was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) increased its presence in several parts of the city while responding to the incident. Police later said there was no ongoing threat to public safety.
Police response
At about 6 p.m., the RNC issued a public advisory reporting an increased police presence around Valley Road, Wellington Street and Mount Bernard Avenue.
Residents and visitors in the area were asked to follow officers’ instructions and report suspicious activity. The advisory came as officers responded to the stabbing investigation at the mall.
At approximately 8:15 p.m., the RNC confirmed that one man had been arrested in connection with the incident.
Victim hospitalized
RNC media relations officer Const. Stephanie Myers said the male victim was transported to hospital. His injuries were believed to be serious, but not life-threatening.
Police did not release the victim’s identity, age or further details about his condition.
The number of people directly involved, the relationship between the victim and the suspect, and the circumstances leading to the stabbing had not been publicly confirmed in the information available.
Location under review
Social-media posts identified the reported location as Downtown Entertainment, a used movies and video-games store on the upper level of Valley Mall, near the Sobeys side of the building.
However, this specific location had not been independently confirmed by the RNC in the information provided. It should therefore be treated as an unverified detail pending an official police update.
Posts on social media also claimed that a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask had been seen around the mall earlier in the day. Authorities had not confirmed whether that report was connected to the stabbing.
Investigation continues
The RNC said the investigation remained ongoing and indicated that additional information could be released on Tuesday.
No charges, motive or details about the suspect had been announced in the information available. Police have advised the public that there is no current threat to public safety.
