Man charged in Oshawa double stabbing
Durham Regional Police accused a man who was among two people found with stab wounds at a commercial plaza in Oshawa last week as the alleged perpetrator.
Cops said officers were called to the Adelaide Ave. E. and Ritson Rd. N. area on Friday night to assist ambulance crews at the scene treating a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds in the plaza’s parking lot.
The woman was subsequently taken to a trauma centre for treatment.
“While securing the scene, officers located an adult male inside a nearby business suffering from serious injuries,” police said in a Monday news release.
He was also taken to a trauma centre with serious injuries.
Investigators later determined that the woman was allegedly stabbed inside the business and made her way outside, where emergency responders found her.
“Evidence gathered during the investigation, including witness statements and video surveillance, led investigators to identify the male as the suspect responsible for the attack,” cops alleged.
Utsav Prakashkumare Acharya, 28, of Oshawa, has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and breaching a release order.
