A woman accused of the attempted murder of her four-month-old girl and the infant’s father appeared to be in a dazed state during a court appearance Thursday.
She made her first appearance in a College Park court after the alleged attack on Wednesday morning in the Evans Ave.-Sherway Gate area.
A sweeping publication ban has been imposed on the identities of the woman and the two victims, as well as information presented during court proceedings.
The woman was brought into court in handcuffs wearing a blue hoodie and orange jumpsuit. Her hair was disheveled and she appeared to be in a zombie-like state, staring blankly ahead as she was escorted into court.
At one point during the court hearing, the duty counsel stopped to ensure she was understanding the proceedings through a Korean court interpreter.
Toronto Police have alleged the woman injured the baby and the man. The baby was rushed to hospital with serious injuries on Wednesday morning.
A source told the Toronto Sun Thursday that Hospital for Sick children medical staff have been doing everything they can to try to save the girl.
“The doctor is doing a wait and see for a 72-hour period to assess brain activity and then will have a better idea of improvement or not,” said the source, who added
internal wounds were severe and the infant remains in critical condition.
The man sustained non-life threatening injuries.
The woman was charged with attempted murder, two counts of uttering death threats, assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon.
She will make her second court appearance on Friday at a Finch Ave. W. courthouse.
