Police have issued a warrant for a man in connection with a stabbing in Wetaskiwin earlier this week.

Mounties were called to a home at midnight on October 28, where they performed CPR on the victim.

Officers determined there was no time to wait for an ambulance, so they transported the man to hospital, where he was immediately flown by STARS Air Ambulance to Edmonton.

He remains in hospital in stable condition.

RCMP say the man’s attacker is 28-year-old Maskwacis resident Nicholas Morin.

Morin was charged with aggravated assault, failure to comply with a court order and two counts of failure to comply with conditions of release.

He is described as having a medium complexion and a tattoo of a flower on his face, standing 5’9″ and 243 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

Police say Morin is not to be approached.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Wetaskiwin RCMP at 780-312-7200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
