Police have confirmed a woman is in hospital after she was stabbed Tuesday morning at a shopping centre in Bay Roberts.

A 33-year-old woman was attacked with a knife at the Dollarama store inside the Bay Roberts Mall.

The woman was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

She was stabbed in the head and the leg, according to a witness to the attack.

RCMP say a 45-year-old man was taken into custody without incident following the stabbing.

According to police, the man and the woman were in a relationship.

A witness told CBC News a bystander tried to stop the alleged attacker, putting him in a headlock.
