Police say the 30-year-old woman was at a restaurant in the 5800 block of Macleod Trail S.W. around 8:20 p.m., when an argument broke out between the woman and someone in the restaurant not long after the accused received her order.

That’s when police say she stabbed a 24-year-old woman inside the restaurant before fleeing into the parking lot, where she then stabbed a 77-year-old man.

She then headed across the street and into a Chinook Centre parkade where she stabbed a third person, a man in his 50s.

“A second assault came in shortly thereafter outside the restaurant,” acting Sgt. Dwayne Cardinal told reporters on Thursday night.
