A Nova Scotia man has been charged after a woman was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a stabbing in Lake Echo over the weekend.
In a release, Halifax District RCMP said police and EHS responded to a report of a stabbing at a residence on Bumpy Lane in Lake Echo around 2 p.m. Saturday.
“RCMP officers learned that a woman had attended the home, to check on a woman, who is known to her,” the release said.
“Once inside, she found the woman suffering from life-threatening injuries and called for help. The victim was transported to hospital by EHS.”
The release said investigators learned the victim, 47, had been stabbed by a man known to her the evening prior.
On Sunday, a 57-year-old man from Dartmouth turned himself into police at Halifax Regional Police headquarters in Halifax.
He has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, uttering a threat, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and possession of a weapon contrary to an order.
The suspect was held in custody and was scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court Monday.
