Oliver Hart was walking out of his apartment last Friday, his arms full of baby supplies for his young child, when he said three people confronted him.
He said one of them grabbed a box of diapers from him, and another pulled out a knife.
"That's when I realized this was actually happening. This is serious. These guys are threatening my life."
Hart said the one with the knife lunged at him and stabbed him in the side.
"It caught me off guard. It was so quick. It happened so fast," he said. "I let go of the box and the two ran off with my son's Pampers. And it hit me, you know, I've just been stabbed."
Hart was one of two men stabbed in The Pas that day. The second victim, 41-year-old Eugene Michelle, died of his injuries.
