Ottawa police say a 17-year-old youth has been arrested and three more suspects are being sought in connection with a stabbing at the Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre in mid-April.
A man was taken to hospital in serious, but stable condition after he was found injured at the east-end mall at about 5 p.m. on April 17.
Police said Wednesday that a 17-year-old suspect had been charged with assault, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and robbery.
The suspect in custody cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The same act prevents publication of photos of the remaining suspects.
