The woman’s infant daughter in a stroller was.

“I was angry at white women,” assistant Crown attorney Leonard Kim read from a transcript of the video statement Stavropoulos gave to Greater Sudbury Police after the late-afternoon attack that saw the woman require emergency surgery to deal with a severed artery in her neck.

On Monday, Stavropoulos, 26, who has been in custody since his arrest, pleaded guilty in the Ontario Court of Justice at the Sudbury Courthouse to two counts of attempted murder and one count of breach of probation (possessing a knife outside of his residence).
