The male suspect from a pair suspected of stabbing a man on July 19 at the St. Catharines Bus Terminal on Carlisle Street has been caught.
Yesterday (August 4), Niagara Police found and charged Mason Jeannotte, 34, of St. Catharines with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and failing to comply with a release order.
He was held for a bail hearing today (August 5) via video link to the courthouse in St. Catharines.
Police say while they have identified the female suspect, the investigation into her involvement in the stabbing is continuing. As she has not been charged, her identity is still under wraps.
At the time of the stabbing, which followed an argument between the pair and the victim, Niagara region paramedics were already on scene treating him by the time police arrived. The paramedics rushed the victim to hospital to further treat his serious stab wound.
Once their pictures were published, police say they received dozens of tips and “would like to thank members of the public who assisted by providing information related to the identity of the two suspects.”
Anyone with further information is asked to contact the lead investigator at 905-688-4111, option #3, extension #1009590.
