A 29-year-old Whitehorse man remains in stable condition at Whitehorse General Hospital after being admitted with multiple stab wounds to his upper right chest Wednesday evening, hospital spokeswoman Val Pike said this morning.

Whitehorse RCMP were called to a residence on Taylor Street at around 6:05 p.m. Wednesday.

There, they found one man suffering from multiple stab wounds.

Police believe a knife was used in the incident. Officers seized one from the scene, Whitehorse RCMP spokesman Cpl. Grant MacDonald said this morning.

It's also believed the victim knows his attacker and that alcohol may have been a factor in the violence.

Facing a charge of aggravated assault is Whitehorse resident Shannon Bob, 26.

The injured man's name was not released.
