On January 13th at 4:46AM a 19-year-old female presented to the overnight drop-in with a significant laceration to her forehead. She refused to disclose any information and was transported to Brandon Regional Health Centre by EMS. Police investigation led to a building in the 200 block of 9th Street where there was blood on the main floor by the elevator and in the elevator. Video footage was obtained. Footage showed the victim and accused get in the elevator together and within seconds the 18-year-old female attacked the 19-year-old female. After several strikes the 18-year-old turned away and is seen holding a knife in her right hand. She then gets off the elevator while the victim rides it to the main floor where she then leaves the building. Police attended a residence in the 200 block of 9th Street and located the accused. She is bound by several Probation Orders and a Release Order resulting in breaches for having a weapon and not following curfew.
She was arrested, held in detention cells and will attend court in the morning on January 14th, 2025.
