Kingston police searching for suspect at large in stabbing attack
Kingston police are searching for a suspect who injured another resident in a violent confrontation on Tuesday evening.
Police say the incident happened at approximately 7:15 p.m. in the area of Champlain Avenue.
An investigation found a resident in the area observed a woman committing a property crime. The resident confronted the woman and was assaulted by the suspect with an edged weapon, police say.
The victim's injuries were not considered life-threatening.
Police had asked the public to avoid the area and to remain inside their homes "to not compromise the investigation and for their own personal safety" Tuesday night.
Officers searched the area with K9 units in an attempt to find the suspect.
Police are asking residents in the Strathcona Park Subdivision—from Princess Street north to John Counter Blvd, and from Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd west to Portsmouth Ave—to review their home surveillance footage from the past 48 hours (Nov. 4–5, 2024). Residents are being asked to check for any unwanted individuals who may have entered their property during this timeframe.
Anyone with information or video is asked to contact police at 613-549-4660 ext. 6311.
"Although no immediate risks are apparent, police are reminding public to remain vigilant," police said in a social media post.
The suspect is described as a 25 to 30-year-old female, approximately 5 foot 1 inch, with shoulder length brown hair and wearing a black jacket with a fur-lined hood, light-colored pants, and gray shoes with white soles.
If seen, do not approach the suspect and contact police immediately by calling 911.
