The Regina Police Service is investigating a series of knife attacks that left several people hurt over the August long weekend in Regina, Saskatchewan. Officers responded to three separate stabbing incidents between July 31 and August 3, all occurring in different parts of the city.
Police say the injuries in each case were not life-threatening, and investigators do not believe the episodes are linked. On Sunday, August 2, 2026, around 6:30 p.m., patrol officers went to the 3100 block of 5th Avenue where they found an adult man and an adult woman with stab wounds. Both were taken to hospital with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries.
This is the second cluster of bladed-weapon offences in Regina in 2026. In early May, police looked into four knife-related incidents over a four-day span. The holiday weekend, which includes Saskatchewan Day, came right after the Queen City Ex fair that wrapped up on August 2. Police had kept a visible presence at the fairgrounds in partnership with REAL District Security, using both uniformed and plainclothes officers throughout the event.
Even with these recent incidents, overall crime numbers in Regina have been dropping. Statistics Canada data shows the Regina Census Metropolitan Area posted a crime rate of 6,543 in 2025, with the crime severity index down 12 percent from the year before.
Police are asking anyone who might have information about the weekend stabbings to come forward. Tips can be given by calling police at 306-777-6500 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
