A Lyft driver is in hospital after a stabbing in north-central Edmonton on Tuesday night.

Police responded to a call about an injured man in the area of 118 Avenue and 87 Street at 9:45 p.m. and transported the driver, who had been stabbed, to hospital.

The man was treated for serious, life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital.

Investigators say the driver's vehicle was stolen after the assault but was found abandoned shortly thereafter.

No arrests have been made and a suspect description has not been provided. 

Correction

This article has been edited to correct the rideshare company the driver worked for. He works for Lyft, not Uber, as Edmonton Police Service originally said.
