Assault in Winnipeg

This page presents assault incident data for Winnipeg, Manitoba, sourced from the city's open-data portal. In the selected reporting window, 1,054 assault records were logged, accounting for 21.5% of Winnipeg's 4,912 total incidents across all crime categories. Assault ranks 2nd among the 10 categories tracked for the city, sitting just behind auto theft in total recorded incidents during this period.

The data covers incidents with occurrence dates spanning February 15 to April 15, 2026 — a roughly two-month window rather than a full annual cycle. All 1,054 records carry usable occurrence dates, with zero undated entries in the dataset. Because the year series includes only 2026 data, no year-over-year comparison is currently available for assault incidents in Winnipeg.

How Assault compares

Assault holds the 2nd position among Winnipeg's 10 crime categories, with 1,054 incidents in the selected window. It trails auto theft, which leads with 1,059 records — a gap of just 5 incidents. The next-largest categories are Other (887), Mischief (479), Fraud (402), and Theft (352). Assault's 21.5% share of the city total means roughly one in five incidents recorded during this period involved an assault. The near-tie between assault and auto theft at the top of the category ranking is the closest margin among any adjacent pair in the dataset.

What these numbers mean

Assault and auto theft are nearly deadlocked at the top of Winnipeg's category ranking, separated by only 5 records (1,054 versus 1,059). This near-tie is notable — in most cities on CrimeMaps, one category clearly dominates. The two-month window from February to April 2026 is too short to establish a trend, and no prior-year data is available for comparison. Neighbourhood-level counts are modest, with William Whyte's 20 incidents representing the largest listed total — a small fraction of the citywide 1,054.
