The Ottawa Police Service has charged two women in connection with a Cumberland stabbing last month.<\/p>\n
Jazmine Justin Gauthier, 45, and Grace Croft, 22, both from Ottawa, are facing assault charges following an Aug. 28, 2026, “disturbance” at a residence on Peter Harkness Lane, police said in a news release. Police say two people were found inside the residence with “non-life-threatening injuries” as a result of a dispute.<\/p>\n
Gauthier is facing four charges including aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon and with carrying a concealed weapon.<\/p>\n
Croft has been charged with causing bodily harm and two counts of assault.<\/p>\n
Ottawa paramedics, with the help of medics from Prescott and Russell, responded to a call at around 8:15 a.m. on Aug. 28. Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson Marc-Antoine Deschamps said.<\/p>\n
“The patient was an adult male who sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries,” Deschamps said. “He was stabilized on scene and was transported to the hospital where he was in stable condition.”<\/p>\n
Deschamps says Ottawa paramedics were not responsible for treating the second patient with minor injuries, who was on scene.<\/p>\n
Police say the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
