Windsor police arrest teen in east-end stabbing that injured two people

Windsor police say they have arrested a 16-year-old male in connection with an east-end stabbing earlier this week. 

On Monday at around 10 p.m., officers responded to a stabbing report near a home in the 6300 block of Tecumseh Rd. E., the Windsor Police Service said in a press release Wednesday. There, they found a woman with multiple stab wounds. 

Police said the 16-year-old male suspect "had gone to the victim's house to confront another youth over a previous issue," but that the "argument soon turned into a physical altercation and the male suspect stabbed the youth's mother several times with a knife." 

Police said a 15-year-old girl was also stabbed in the shoulder. Both the girl and the mother were taken to hospital with injuries not considered to be life-threatening.

Officers with the OPP's Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement Squad arrested the suspect the next day in Essex, per the press release. 

He's facing several charges, Windsor police said, including two counts of assault with a weapon causing bodily harm, as well as two counts of failure to comply with a Youth Criminal Justice Act sentence. 

Windsor police are asking anyone with information about the case to call them or Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.
