The Moose Jaw Police Service has charged 29-year-old Brandon Bluecloud with assault with a weapon after an attack took place downtown on Oct. 3.
At roughly 9:11 a.m., police responded to a report of a suspicious occurrence at a business. Once on the scene, officers learned that Bluecloud had approached a customer within the business from behind, stabbed that person multiple times in the lower back region with a pointy object, and then fled the scene.
With the help of the business’s security camera, which police obtained following the incident, they confirmed that the weapon in question was a syringe and that Bluecloud was holding it.
Bluecloud and the victim are unknown to one another, and the attack appears to be random.
Officers located and arrested Bluecloud without incident a short time after the attack. He made his first appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Oct. 4 and was remanded into police custody for a bail hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 10.
Anyone with further information should contact CRIME STOPPERS at 1-800-222-8477 or the Moose Jaw Police Service at 306-694-7600.
