A man is dead after a stabbing in Ottawa's west end.

Police were called to the 2800 block of Carling Avenue near Pinecrest around 6pm Monday evening after a fight between two people escalated.

One man was taken to Ottawa hospital with serious injuries.  He died Tuesday morning.  Police have a person of interest in custody although charges have not yet been laid.  Charges are expected later today.
