Charges have been laid after two children were injured with a knife in Grande Prairie, Alta., requiring one to be sent down to the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.
RCMP said Mounties were called to help EMS at a home in the northwestern Alberta city on Feb. 19.
An eight-year-old child was stabbed and taken to the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital in serious but non-life-threatening condition.
They were later brought to the Stollery for further care.
A second child, aged seven, suffered minor wounds from a knife. Police said to protect their identity, the children, who are both in stable condition, will not be named.
A 35-year-old person from Grande Prairie was charged with aggravated assault. Global News is no longer naming them due to a publication ban enacted to protect the identity of the victims.
They appeared before a Justice of the Peace and were released on conditions. Their next court date is March 13 in Grande Prairie.
