A man and a woman have been charged with attempted murder after a stabbing in Scugog back in May.
Durham police were called to a park in the area of Water Street and Mary Street on May 13 around 9:15 p.m. for reports of an armed person.
Once on the scene, officers found a man suffering from stab wounds. He was taken to a trauma centre in serious, life-threatening condition. His condition was later upgraded to stable.
It’s alleged that the victim was brought to the park by a woman he knew and while at the park, he was ambushed by the woman and a male suspect.
The man allegedly stabbed the victim several times and tried to force him into a vehicle. The suspects fled the area after the victim was able to defend himself.
