Ivan Pylypchuk, 48, was waiting for a bus to go to work at 38 Avenue and Millbourne Road around 6:15 a.m. on Thursday when police say he was stabbed by a random person.
He was taken to hospital where he underwent surgery.
Pylypchuk, his wife Iuliia Pushkar and their eight-year-old daughter Victoria had just arrived in Canada after fleeing the war in Ukraine.
The family only knows one person in Canada, Leo Leshchinsky, who Pylypchuk has known since childhood.
On Friday, CTV News Edmonton spoke to Pushkar and Leshchinsky, with Leshchinsky translating for Bushkar, who speaks very little English.
Leshchinsky says Pylypchuk is out of surgery and is conscious, but he's facing a long road to recovery.
