A woman in her 50s is in hospital after she was stabbed several times in an underground parking garage in Mississauga.

The woman was attacked at approximately 11:15 p.m. Thursday night, inside a parking lot on Shipp Drive, between Rathburn Road and Robert Speck Parkway.

The parking is located below a row of luxury townhouses. Police said one of the homes is connected to the crime, but wouldn't provide further details.

Due to the severity of the victim's injuries, Peel Regional Police Const. Lilly Fitzpatrick said police haven't been able to speak to her.

The suspect or suspects left the scene before police arrived, Fitzpatrick said, explaining that police will not have a description until they can speak to the injured woman.
