A 22-year-old woman from Moosonee was charged with aggravated assault, failing to comply with a probation order, and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.

Police said at the time of the stabbing, she was living in the community while out on bail for two counts of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, arson — disregard for human life, failing to comply with probation, and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.

A police spokesperson said one of the previous offences involved an “edged weapon,” but didn’t say whether or not it was a stabbing.

After Sunday’s stabbing, the woman was held for a bail hearing, before she was released again on a release order by the Ontario Court of Justice, police said.
