Gun bandit stabs teen Three suspects arrested after attempted mugging on
downtown street

A 17-year-old boy was in stable condition after suffering multiple stab
wounds in a botched mugging downtown on Saturday night.

Three teens were waiting for a bus near 101 Street and 102 Avenue about
10:30 p.m., when they were approached by three men – one armed with what
appeared to be a handgun, said Edmonton police Staff Sgt. Dave Elanik.

The armed man held the gun to one of the teen’s chins and demanded his
wallet, Elanik said.

After the teen complied, the bandit turned the gun on a second teen and
repeated his demands.

But that teen suddenly realized the gun was actually an air pistol and
swatted it to the ground, Elanik said.

During the ensuing skirmish, one of the men pulled out a knife and
stabbed one of the teens several times.

The victim appeared to have been stabbed twice in the stomach, once in
the back and once in the upper thigh, Elanik said.

City cops on patrol responded to the area within moments and rounded up
three suspects.

The wounded teen was taken to University hospital with
non-life-threatening injuries, said EMS Supt. Rod Homeniuk.

Police said the teen victims didn’t know the three men, and the
attempted mugging appeared to be done as a random act.

Marvin Payne, 25, Nicholas Holtom, 26, and David Cox, 23, were charged
with robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault and possession of an
offensive weapon.
