An Indian woman was left in a critical condition this week after being attacked in Canada. 23-year-old Tanpreet Kaur had been returning home after work when she was ambushed by two strangers shortly after midnight. The Winnipeg Police said bystanders had intervened to stop the assault while the attackers fled the scene. Kaur was shifted to a nearby hospital with critical injuries.
“The victim was stabbed and robbed of her cell phone. During the assault, she was able to disarm the suspect and held onto the knife, while they continued to assault her. Bystanders intervened and called 911, and the suspects ran off,” Indian Express quoted the police as saying.
The incident took place late on June 23 on the 1–99 block of Roslyn Road. Reports indicate that a 17-year-old girl has since been arrested in connection with the crime. Authorities said that she faces charges of aggravated assault, robbery, and multiple breaches of a release order, according to authorities. It remains unclear whether the police are currently searching for additional suspects.
