A 40-year-old woman will be charged with assaulting a police officer and two weapons-related offences after RCMP say she stabbed an officer who arrested her on Boxing Day. The woman could not properly respond to questions or identify herself to the officer, the release said. He searched the woman and found a capped needle and a large homemade knife that had been tucked into her waistband. The woman is still in custody, and will be charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Mounties in Portage la Prairie are still investigating, the release said.
