Officers were called Tuesday at about 7:15 p.m. to a home on Marconi Boulevard where a woman attempted to cause life-threatening injuries to a three-year-old boy, police said.
The woman was arrested nearby and paramedics assessed the boy, who didn’t require medical treatment, police said.
The woman tried to drown the boy, court documents say.
A London police spokesperson declined to provide any additional information, citing the ongoing investigation.
The accused made a court appearance Wednesday, when the Crown said it would oppose bail and requested she not communicate with five people, including the complainant. The case was adjourned to Friday to set a date for a bail hearing.
A lawyer for the accused requested a publication ban on evidence presented at the bail hearing.

Earlier this year, a London man, 44, and woman, 34, were charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life after a child was injured by a shotgun blast in the city’s Whitehills neighbourhood on Feb. 15.
The child, 7, was shot in the foot and spent five days in hospital, a relative said at the time. A publication ban prohibits publishing information that could identify the child.
EDITOR’S NOTE: An earlier version of this story included incorrect information about the operator of the Marconi Boulevard townhouse complex. It is not a public-housing complex.
