Two women are fighting for their lives after a double stabbing inside a Brampton home late Thursday night.
Peel Regional Police (PRP) say the attack happened just before 11 p.m. at a residence on Hummingbird Court, near Steeles Avenue and Hurontario Street. Officers arrived to find two women suffering from critical stab wounds.
Both victims were rushed to the hospital, where they remain in life‑threatening condition.
“I can tell you that they are stable at this time,” Const. Laurie McCann told reporters at the scene.
A male suspect was taken into custody nearby, police told 680 NewsRadio. Investigators have not released details about his relationship to the victims or whether charges have been laid, but acknowledged that the suspect and two victims were related.
“I can confirm that the one female is in her 70s and the other female is in her 50s,” a police spokesperson said. “The suspect is in his 40s.”
McCann later confirmed with CityNews that a 46-year-old man is facing two counts of attempted murder.
The stabbings were an isolated incident, police added, saying there is no threat to public safety.
