A woman has been charged after allegedly stabbing an elderly man in Westminster on Saturday. Police were called to Shipley Crescent at 12.40 am Saturday after receiving reports that someone had been stabbed. When officers arrived, they found a 71-year-old man with stab wounds to his hand and legs. He was then taken to Royal Perth Hospital by St John WA, for treatment. An RPH spokesman told The West Australian the man was in a stable condition. Police said they believe the man was injured at a home on nearby Amberley Way.
