A Barrie woman is facing an attempted murder charge after an alleged stabbing on Thursday that seriously injured a female victim.

Just after 5 p.m., Barrie Police got reports of an apparent stabbing at a complex on North Street, where the victim was eventually found having sustained serious injuries. They were subsequently rushed to a Toronto-area hospital via helicopter.

After speaking to several other at the complex, police located the suspect, a 49-year-old woman from Barrie, and arrested her without incident.

Police say their investigation revealed that the two women were known to each other and had a history of conflict.

Surveillance video from inside the building reportedly showed the victim enter a stairwell with the suspect trailing with a knife. Moments later, only the suspect exited the stairwell.
