A 53-year-old woman has been charged with aggravated assault after a stabbing at the Vancouver Law Courts this week.
Sgt. Steve Addison of Vancouver police says in an email statement that the accused and the victim were at the court for a civil matter that was scheduled for a hearing on Tuesday.
Addison says the stabbing occurred before the court session began.
He says the 53-year-old victim was seriously hurt and taken to hospital.
Addison says sheriffs held the suspect until police arrived.
Catherine Shen is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
