NANAIMO — A man in his 30’s sustained non-life threatening stab wounds during a disagreement with a woman at a Nanaimo home.

Nanaimo RCMP said the woman, also in her 30’s, is accused of stabbing the man who she knows “in a limb” on Sunday, Aug. 2 at about 4:30 a.m.

The incident occurred at a home on Departure Bay Rd. near Green Leaf Pl.

Police said the woman was arrested on scene without incident and released on a promise to show up for a future court appearance.

“Anytime we have a weapon it’s a serious assault, especially an edge weapon,” Cst. Derek Balderston told NanaimoNewsNOW.
