Ellis Kirkland: Yorkville exec charged with attempted murder in stabbing

A woman accused of stabbing a man with a large knife in an upscale Toronto neighbourhood has been ordered to receive medical attention and appear in mental-health court on Monday.

Toronto police say they were called to a condominium building in the area of Rosedale Valley Boulevard and Park Road at about 7:30 a.m.

They arrived to find a 67-year-old man suffering from multiple stab wounds to his torso. He was taken to a hospital trauma centre with life-threatening injuries. He has since been moved out of intensive care and his condition is improving, police said Friday afternoon.

Several hours later, around noon, police were called to the Town Inn Suites on Church and Charles streets for reports of a disturbance.

They arrived to find a woman in crisis on a balcony of one of the building’s upper floors.

After swinging onto the balcony from the building’s roof, the woman was brought out of the building by emergency task force officers and taken into custody at about 3:30 p.m., police said.

Ellis Kirkland, 60, of Toronto is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and weapons dangerous to the public peace.

She appeared in court this morning and was remanded into custody. She will undergo a medical and psychological assessment, likely this weekend.

She is scheduled to appear in court again on Monday.
