Woman Charged with Aggravated Assault in Pickering
A twenty-year-old woman was charged with aggravated assault and weapons offences in connection with a stabbing in Pickering. Her alleged victim suffered a cut above his eye and a stab wound to the abdomen, and was treated at hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The accused initially fled the scene but was apprehended by police in the vicinity of the restaurant where the incident occurred. Aggravated assault under Section 268 of the Criminal Code involves wounding, maiming, disfiguring, or endangering the life of the complainant, and is a more serious charge than common assault. Anyone facing assault or weapons charges in Pickering or Durham Region should speak with a criminal defence lawyer before making any statements to police.
Gang-Style Stabbing at Pickering House Party
Just before midnight on April 11, a sixteen-year-old was chased, beaten, and stabbed at a house party in Pickering attended by two to three hundred people. The assailants fled by car, then returned to continue the attack. The victim sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Durham Regional Police believed the incident was captured on cell phone video and appealed to witnesses to come forward. No witnesses had done so at the time. Assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon are serious indictable offences. When multiple individuals are involved, additional charges such as participating in a criminal organization or conspiracy may also apply. Anyone facing assault charges in Pickering or Durham Region should consult a lawyer before speaking with police.
