14-year-old stabbing suspect arrested again by Guelph police

Guelph police say a 14-year-old girl accused of stabbing another teenager earlier this month has been arrested again.

In a news release on Wednesday, police said the suspect has now been charged with breaching her release conditions and uttering threats.

Police arrested the girl on Jan. 14 after emergency crews responded to a home in Silvercreek Parkway North just before 1 p.m. and found a 16-year-old with a stab wound to her shoulder.

Police said an argument between two girls led to the stabbing but they didn’t elaborate.

The victim is back home recovering after being treated at a hospital outside of Guelph and the suspect is facing charges of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
