Calgary police are investigating after a woman was stabbed in the neck near a downtown Calgary Light Rail Transit (LRT) station, closing the Ctrain temporarily, just days after the city’s mayor held a press conference to announce progress in addressing transit security concerns.
According to police, the incident occurred downtown at approximately 6:30 a.m. on June 13 at the 8th Street S.W. Station. Police told CTV News the victim, in her 30s, had called 911 saying she had been stabbed.
