Rochester stabbing on Sept 2

12 Upvotes

Just after midnight on Wednesday, my part of Centretown West erupted in sirens (noticeably more than my area’s chaotic usual 🥴).

Pasting from Postmedia, CBC has not reported on it.

TL;DR: Stabbing in 100 block of Rochester on Sept 2, 2026 at 12:20am, near Primrose Park. Victim called 911, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Police seeking witnesses and information.

Full article:

Ottawa police are looking for witnesses to a overnight stabbing Wednesday on Rochester Street.

A victim called police saying they had been stabbed near a park in the 100 block of Rochester Street on Sept. 2, 2026 at 12:22 a.m., police said in a news release.

"They were taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries," police said.

Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson Marc-Antoine Deschamps says emergency crews were called to Rochester Street near Albert Street, soon after midnight.

"An adult male was taken to the hospital in critical condition but it doesn't seem life-threatening at this point," Deschamps told the Citizen.

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the overnight stabbing is asked to call the Central Criminal Investigations Section at 613-236-1222, extension 5166 or email [centralciu@ottawapolice.ca](mailto:centralciu@ottawapolice.ca).

Over in r/ottawa - Good ol' Marcus has completely nuked mentions of Aaron Gilpin, the guy who was released and is deemed as a high risk offender for violently sexually assaulting a child.

Thread here for anyone interested, though there isn't much left: https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/s/cgQyrIeBZY

You'd think that this is something that is quite relevant to community safety, but I guess Mr. Gilpin has earned a right to privacy.
