Police said they believe the attack was domestic in nature.
Jim Turner, who lives nearby, told Global News he was standing on his deck when he heard sirens coming from below.
The attack comes as a surprise, he said.
“People I’ve met around here are good people, so to come out here and see this is a real surprise,” he said.
“But I know this is a big city now … you probably don’t think it’s going to happen in your area.”
Investigators are now looking for a male suspect, whom police believe was in a relationship with the woman.
Police are also speaking with potential witnesses while officers search for the suspect.
At this time, the man’s identity is not being released, police said.
