A Mount Forest woman faces several charges stemming from a stabbing at a home in town over the weekend.
At around 11 p.m. last Thursday, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers responded to a threats call at a home on Egremont Street. Officers were told that a person was threatened with an edged weapon and the accused took off.
Shortly after midnight on Good Friday, police responded to a call about an injured person at a home on Albert Street. Police say the victim was stabbed and suffered serious, non-life threatening injuries.
OPP officers have since arrested a 31-year-old Mount Forest woman accused of harming the victim. She is charged with assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, two counts of uttering threats of causing death or bodily harm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and failing to comply with a release order.
The woman was held in police custody pending a bail hearing.
Police continue to investigate the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call the Wellington County OPP at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or submit a tip on-line at www.csgw.tips.
