A woman was hospitalized with serious injuries Friday following an early-morning attack in southeast Edmonton, according to local police, who are now seeking a male suspect.

Officers with Edmonton Police Service were dispatched early Friday to a home in Mill Woods after receiving a call from a woman in 30s, who said she’d been assaulted. She was taken to hospital with extensive injuries.

EPS issued a press release Friday afternoon saying the woman was still in hospital but offered no update on her condition.
