Police responded to the Marlborough CTrain Station on 36th Street NE just before 7pm Monday for reports of an assault. The victim, a woman in her 20s, was bleeding and slipping in and out of consciousness after being attacked with an axe, police said. Although officers searched the area, they were unable to locate a suspect. However, several hours later, Calgary Transit notified police that a woman matching the suspect’s description had returned to the Marlborough CTrain station. “Police responded and after a short pursuit, took her into custody inside the Tim Hortons located in the 500 block of 36 Street NE,” a news release said Tuesday. Investigators are working to determine if the victim and the accused know each other and what was the motive for the attack. Shania Eileen Hunter, 22, is charged with one count of assault with a weapon and one count of possession of an imitation firearm for a dangerous purpose. Hunter is scheduled to appear in court next, on December 1st. “We know many Calgarians are concerned about the violent crime occurring in our city and we remain committed to working with our partners to hold those responsible accountable,” said Insp. Joel Matthews.
