A woman is recovering from a serious injury incurred late Thursday following what Mounties say was a fight with two other women.

The woman was intoxicated and bleeding heavily from her arm when RCMP came into contact with her. She had few details to offer but police said they’ve since determined that she was assaulted at the corner of Mills Street and Bernard Avenue in the aftermath of another conflict.
