Attempted murder charge laid in Monday stabbing

A 35-year-old man is now charged with attempted murder after another man was stabbed in Windsor.

Christopher Larkin is also charged with administering bear spray with intent to endanger life or cause bodily harm, entering a dwelling with intent to commit an offence, and breaching probation.

The charges have not been proven in court.

Police responded to a call on Josephine Avenue near University Avenue West just before 8 a.m. on Monday after a man suffered life-threatening stab wounds.

Investigators allege the suspect deployed the bear spray during the incident, impacting a second person at the scene as well.

Just half an hour after the stabbing, officers arrested a suspect in the Woodlawn Avenue and Malcolm Avenue area in south Windsor.

The Windsor Police Major Crimes Unit is continuing to investigate the incident.  Anyone with information is asked to call police at 519-255-6700 ext. 4830, Crime Stoppers at 519-258-8477, or submit their information online at www.catchcrooks.com.
