Beamsville man facing attempted murder charge in stabbing at Grimsby home

A Beamsville, Ont., man has been charged in connection with a daytime stabbing incident last weekend in Grimsby.

Police say a 41-year-old woman was transported to an out-of-town hospital Saturday after being found with wounds at a residence near Central Avenue and Lynnwood Avenue.

Investigators say the victim and suspect, who knew each other, appeared to have been engaged in some sort of altercation at the Niagara Region home in the noon hour.

Niagara Regional Police (NRPS) said the suspect was also seen fighting with a “Good Samaritan” who had come to the aid of the victim following the attack.

A 70-year-old man, identified in a Niagara police release, is facing an attempted murder charge and aggravated assault.

The woman remains in stable condition and recovering from serious injuries.

NRPS are seeking surveillance video and witnesses to determine how the accused traveled to the location of the attack or who he may have been with.

“Detectives have learned that he was at a residence on Lincoln Avenue just south of King Street … at 7:40am on May 13,” NRPS revealed in an update.

“The investigation has also determined that the accused was on foot in the neighbourhood near the site of the attack at 9:40am on May 13.”

Investigators have revealed the suspect had a green backpack at the time, wore glasses and black three-quarter length jacket.

The accused remains into custody.  His next court date is June 2.

Anyone with information can reach out to Niagara police or Crime Stoppers.
