Woman charged after box-cutter attacks at party on Garden Hill First Nation: RCMP

Manitoba RCMP say three people have been left with “life-altering injuries” after being attacked with a box cutter at a home on Garden Hill First Nation.

Investigators met up with the victims who were being treated for slash wounds at the community’s nursing station around 12:40 a.m. Monday.

Police say the trouble started when a woman who had been asked to leave a house party returned with a box cutter.

They say the suspect slashed two women, aged 24 and 26, as well as a 39-year-old man.
