VANCOUVER – Police in Vancouver say more charges have been laid against the suspect in a series of stranger assaults in Yaletown earlier this month.
The Vancouver Police Department says the 35-year-old woman was initially charged with one count of assault but prosecutors have now approved four more counts of assault with a weapon and one further count of assault.
Investigators were called on October 10 after several people reported being assaulted by a stranger near David Lam Park around 7:30 a.m.
Police at the time said three stabbing victims were initially located and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
They said four additional assault victims were later identified, including one person who was stabbed.
Police say the suspect remains in custody until her next court appearance.
