Police are believed to be looking for two suspects, while 15 people have been sent to hospital over the offense of using edged weapons.
The stabbings took place at multiple locations in the Cree Nation borough of James Smith and in the village of Weldon in northeast Saskatoon, police said.
Early indications were that the victims were randomly attacked, but police offered no possible motive.
The search for the suspect was launched as football fans attended a sold-out Canadian Football League game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Regina Regional Police said with the help of local security forces, they combed several areas to arrest the suspects. They have deployed additional public safety resources throughout the city, including at Mosaic Stadium.
The warning to stabbers to surrender was first issued around 7 a.m. and extended several hours later to include Manitoba and Alberta as the two suspects remain at large.
The two suspects are named respectively Damien Sanderson and Myles. The two are said to have black hair and brown eyes and likely drive a black Nissan Rogue.
Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan Health Authority said patients were being treated at multiple locations.
“A call for additional personnel has been made in response to the new victim,” spokeswoman Anne Linemann said in an email quoted by TheGuardian.com on Monday (5/9).
Mark Oddan, spokesman for Stars Air Ambulance, said two helicopters were dispatched from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and one from Regina.
