Marcus Mclean of Brandon is facing several serious charges after two vicious attacks on Thursday morning.
At 3:00 a.m., Dauphin RCMP responded to a stabbing outside a business on 2nd Avenue SW. A 25-year-old female was found after being stabbed. She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening physical injuries.
Officers then responded to a second stabbing on 2nd Avenue NE. A 53-year-old woman was suffering from serious injuries after she was stabbed. She was also sexually assaulted and was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
The 31-year-old Mclean was found a short time later and was arrested, and police dog Marook located the knife used in the attacks. Neither victim was known to the suspect, and it's believed that he acted alone.
He's been charged with Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, Sexual Assault with a Weapon, and Uttering Threats Against a Person.
