Woman charged after potato peeler stabbing
By THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER, B.C. - Packing a potato peeler has landed a Vancouver woman in the stew.
Charges of assault and assault with a weapon have been laid against 25-year-old Yurub Mohammed Arte following an incident early Monday morning outside a Vancouver nightclub.
Police say they were called to the Republic Nightclub at around 2 a.m. after reports a 20-year-old woman had been stabbed in the ear with a potato peeler.
Nightclub staff were holding a suspect by the time police arrived.
The victim is recovering from minor injuries but needed hospital treatment for a slight wound to her ear.
She also suffered a bite wound to her chest.
I was a bit surprised to see this story rattle out of the Great White North. Potato peeler stabbings are much more common in Ireland. It's actually the number three weapon there behind knife and whiskey bottle. Meanwhile, a potato peeler isn't even in the Top 10 weapons in Canada where hockey skate has long reigned as the top weapon.
On a serious note what kind of heinous skank of a woman stabs someone in the ear? I can think of worse places to get stabbed but not many.
