A 40 year old female is in custody, after members of the Prince Rupert detachment of the RCMP responded to an complaint related to a residence in the 1000 block of Immanuel Street on the city's east side.

The incident was called in just before 9:30 PM on Sunday and upon arrival responding officers located a 46 year old male who was suffering serious injuries to his throat area.

As a result of their investigation into the incident, the 40 year old female was taken into custody.

The injured male was transported to Prince Rupert Regional Hospital for further treatment.

In a media release issued on Monday, the RCMP looked to reassure the public by stressing that the incident was not considered a random act of violence, as both individuals were known to each other.
