Suspect in stabbing at Stamps game wore Lions shirt

Last Updated: Saturday, September 26, 2009 | 11:21 AM PT

Calgary police are searching for a man wearing a B.C. Lions jersey and tuque after another man was stabbed at the end of Friday's Canadian Football League game against the host Stampeders.

A 25-year-old was rushed to hospital in serious but stable condition after he approached paramedics near McMahon Stadium.

The suspect is bearded and wearing the orange Lions gear, with the number 2 on the back.

Police aren't sure what started the fight or how many people were involved, Insp. Nina Vaughan told the Calgary Sun.

"He walked up to one of the paramedics and said he'd been stabbed, so we don't know what happened," she said.
