Three suspects arrested after woman slashed in the face during a robbery

Windsor police have arrested three people after a woman had her face slashed during a robbery on the west side of the city.

Police said they were called to the area of College Avenue just before 5 a.m. on Saturday after a stabbing report.

Officers arrived to find a 48-year-old woman suffering from a facial laceration. She was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators learned three male suspects had entered the victim's residence and demanded money. When the victim refused, one of the suspects reportedly slashed her in the face with a weapon.

The suspects then allegedly stole property from the victim and fled the scene.

A 53-year-old man is charged with assault causing bodily harm, robbery, and breach of probation. A 25-year-old is charged with robbery, possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, and possession of stolen property.

A 16-year-old male, who can't be named under the Youth Criminal Act, is charged with robbery.
