WINNIPEG — A woman is facing an attempted murder charge after a six-year-old boy was stabbed in Winnipeg.
Police say officers were called to a home in the city's Central neighbourhood at about noon Wednesday.
Officers found the boy who had been stabbed and provided emergency care, including the use of a chest seal to close off the wounds.
The boy was sent to hospital in critical condition and was eventually upgraded to stable condition.
A woman in her 20s was arrested at the home and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon.
Police are not naming the woman out of privacy for the boy, but say they are known to each other.
