After several employees were able to get the weapon from Moore, The victim was then transported to Vaughan Regional Medical Center by CARE Ambulance and treated for serious injuries.

Following Moore’s arrest Friday, she was issued a $15,000 bond, which she made. However, after her charge was upgraded, Moore was arrested again Wednesday.
