A Moncton woman will remain behind bars after being denied bail in Moncton Provincial Court Thursday.

Jeanne Marie Pond, 52, has been charged with attempted murder following an alleged stabbing in the parking lot of a downtown business.

The Crown opposed her release during a bail hearing Thursday, while the defence representative said Jeanne Pond would be seeking legal aid.

Police say the victim, Joanne Pond, a woman in her 40s was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries before being released.
