Youth Arrested After Stabbing

Windsor Police has arrested a youth following a stabbing.

The suspect was arrested the following day in the Town of Essex by the OPP-led Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) Squad.

The youth, who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), has been charged with:

• Assault with a weapon causing bodily harm (x 2)
