Police were called to the University of Manitoba campus regarding a man with a weapon who was threatening people at the track and field stadium on Chancellor Matheson Road.
On July 12th, 2025, around 11:30 a.m., campus security attempted to vacate a man who was acting aggressively in the viewing stands of the stadium. He refused to cooperate and threatened three security officers and a coach on the field with a pointed hand-fashioned weapon and a rock. Nobody was injured.
Officers from the West District with the assistance of the Tactical Support Team (TST) and K9 Unit located him hiding in a nearby retention pond, but he refused to come out.
