A 16-year-old girl is facing charges after a victim was chased and stabbed multiple times in Durham Region earlier this month, police say.
Durham regional police said that officers responded on May 11 at around 10:55 p.m. to a call for an armed person in the Beatrice Street East and Wilson Road North area of Oshawa.

“During this second meeting, one of the females brandished a knife and chased the males,” investigators said.
“The suspect used the knife to stab the victim multiple times.”
The victim was taken to a Toronto-area trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Officers investigated and on May 21, a suspect was taken into custody.
