The Nova Scotia RCMP has charged a man with attempted murder after a stabbing in Truro Heights Sunday evening.
In a release, police say officers responded to a report of a stabbing on Anita Crescent in Truro Heights around 5 p.m. that day.
“When police arrived at the scene, they found a 51-year-old woman suffering from multiple stab wounds to the head and upper body,” it said.
Police say a man was located at the scene and was arrested without incident.
The woman was taken to hospital in Truro with serious, non-life-threatening injuries, and she was later transferred to hospital in Halifax.
The suspect, 54-year-old Shawn David Olsen of Truro Heights, has been charged with attempted murder, uttering threats and two counts of failure to comply with conditions of a release.
He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Truro provincial court Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.
Police say the investigation is continuing and is being assisted by the RCMP forensic identification section.
