Suspect arrested after stabbing incident in Brandon

On August 23, 2024 at approximately 12:34 pm, officers responded to a domestic incident in the 200 block of Victoria Avenue East, where a 35-year-old male suspect assaulted a female victim, inflicting a stab wound to her head.

The victim, who sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries, was assisted by someone nearby, who called the incident in. The female victim was transported to the hospital to receive medical treatment.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the suspect’s whereabouts, a heavy police presence was required to ensure public safety and his capture including the use of a drone and police K-9.

The male was located and arrested at a second address at 1:58 hours.  He will appear in court today on charges of Assault with a Weapon and Assault Causing Bodily Harm.
