The three were cut with a knife and all were sent to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The suspect was also treated for minor injuries in hospital before being released into police custody.

A 27-year-old woman is charged with assaulting an officer with a weapon, resisting a peace officer, possession of a weapon and mischief under $5,000.
