The Calgary Police Service now says that three people attacked downtown on Dec. 21 were targeted because they were experiencing homelessness and other vulnerabilities.
Police say a series of random stabbings in the downtown core last month have been determined to be hate-motivated and targeted vulnerable Calgarians.
The two men were arrested Dec. 23, two days after three males were stabbed in separate attacks in the early morning hours of Dec. 21.
Two men have been arrested after three strangers were sprayed with fire extinguishers and then stabbed in apparently random attacks in downtown Calgary last week, police say.
