A scary scene in Markham Sunday night:
York Regional Police were involved in a standoff with a man who barricaded himself inside a rooming house after police say he stabbed a woman, nearly killing her.
They were called to the house, near Warden and 16th Avenue, just before 9:30 p.m.
At first, the woman's wounds were thought to be life-threatening. She had to have surgery but now, police say she's expected to live.
We're not sure how these two know each other.
The man was arrested around 12:30 a.m. Monday.
