A remarkable short story in the Ottawa Citizen. Notice the lack of gender designation in the headline.

'OTTAWA — Gatineau police are looking for an 18-year-old woman after an altercation between two women in Buckingham Monday night sent one woman to the hospital with non-life threatening stab wounds.

At around 7 p.m., an altercation broke out between two 18-year-old women at the corner of Rue Jean-XXIII and Rue des Pins.

One of the women sustained multiple stab wounds to her face, chest, hand and leg. She tried to escape, police said, and ran into a house on Rue des Pins, before going to the hospital with a friend.

Police were informed of the stabbing at about 10:25 p.m., said Const. Isabelle Poirier.

The suspect, also an 18-year-old Gatineau woman, is known to the victim. No arrest has yet been made.

The investigation continues.'
