Police are investigating a stabbing on Victoria Street over the long weekend.
Around 2:10 a.m. on Sunday, Kingston Police say that a fight broke out among some people attending a party and that a local 19-year-old woman was stabbed, sustaining serious injuries.
Kingston Police and Frontenac Paramedics say that when they arrived, they found dozens of young and intoxicated people on the street and at a house in the 300 block of Victoria Street.
Police also found that a male sustained injuries from a bottle broken over his head at the same location.
The residence is normally student-rented but possibly used as a short-term rental during the weekend, police believe.

Although Kingston police said the property might have been rented out by Airbnb, the company contacted Global News saying it did not have any “active listings on the 300 block of Victoria Street in Kingston.”
Investigators are asking any homeowners or tenants in the area to review exterior video surveillance footage around the time the incident occurred.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kingston Police and can remain anonymous upon request.
