Police allege the woman — who can’t be identified because of a sweeping publication ban — injured the four-month-old girl and the man Wednesday morning in the area of Evans Ave. and Sherway Gate.
The baby was taken to hospital in critical condition and the man suffered minor injuries.
“She is physically fine but being evaluated,” the accused woman’s lawyer, John Struthers, said Friday at the Finch Ave. W. courthouse. On Thursday, the woman appeared in court in a dazed state.
“This has been devastating for everyone…She has the support from the community, family and the Korean Embassy (as she is a Korean National),” Struthers said.
On Friday, the woman’s sister, the pastor from her church and a representative from the Korean Consulate were at the court, but all denied comment.
Struthers said the baby is now in stable, but serious condition.
“The whole story of what happened has yet to be revealed,” he said.
The woman — who is being held at the Vanier Centre for Woman — has been charged with attempted murder, two counts of uttering death threats, assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon.
Her next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday and her defense is in discussions about seeking bail.
“The main concern is everyone’s safety,” Struthers said. “No one is in danger.”
