Woman charged in triple stabbing

The Calgary Police Service has charged a woman after three people were stabbed near Chinook Centre yesterday evening.

At approximately 8:20 p.m., on Thursday, May 31, 2018, a woman attended a restaurant, located in the 5800 block of Macleod Tr. S.W. After receiving her order, an altercation took place and the woman allegedly stabbed a 24-year-old woman causing serious injuries. The suspect fled the restaurant.

Minutes later, outside a pub in the same block, the woman allegedly stabbed a 77-year-old man causing serious injuries. She then continued south toward Chinook Centre, located at 6455 Macleod Trail S.W.

Approximately 15 minutes later, the woman entered the Chinook Centre parkade and is believed to have stabbed a third victim, a man in his 50s causing serious injuries.

All three victims were transported to hospital in stable condition.

The woman was arrested shortly after the third stabbing and was taken into custody. It is believed that the attacks were random.
