A dispute between two women in their 60s put one in the hospital and the other in custody, Winnipeg police say.
The incident took place Saturday evening at a Dufferin Avenue apartment complex, where police found the 61-year-old victim with lacerations and upper-body injuries. She was taken to hospital in stable condition.
Police said the suspect, 60, went to the victim’s suite and confronted her over a property dispute, which led to the victim being hit with a heavy metal object and attacked with a small, edged weapon. After the incident, police allege the suspect fled the scene with the victim’s cellphone.
