Peel police have charged a 28-year-old woman with attempted murder following a stabbing that happened early Monday morning in Brampton.

Police say the incident took place around 2 a.m. inside a store in the area of Kennedy Road South and Queen Street East.

It is alleged the suspect, who didn’t know the victim, approached a woman in her 20’s and stabbed her.

The victim was initially taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries. Her injuries have downgraded to non-life-threatening and she is now in stable condition.
