Stabbing

Ride share from P.A. to Saskatoon ends in stabbing

Sep 4, 2024 | 9:56 AM

A 24-year-old woman is recovering from stab wounds following a ride share from Prince Albert to Saskatoon.

Saskatoon Police said they were called about 6 a.m. on Saturday, August 31 to the area of Meadows Boulevard and Stilling Lane.

They found the victim suffering from stab wounds. She told officers the stabbing happened after getting a ride from Prince Albert to Saskatoon.

Paramedics treated her and took her to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

In 2018, the province introduced legislation to increase safety around ride shares, including requiring drivers offering rides to pass a criminal record check annually and having their vehicles pass a safety inspection every year.
