Domestic Stabbing Hospitalizes Two Women

 Posted on December 00, 0000 in Criminal Law

Police responded to a domestic disturbance call in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood, only to find blood spatters on the first-floor apartment walls and floor. According to the police, a 22-year-old woman was stabbed multiple times when she knocked on the rear door of an apartment around five in the morning on February 11. Police state that a 27-year-old woman opened the door with a knife in her hand, and started stabbing the younger woman.

The younger woman was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with serious-to-critical injuries, having been stabbed in the head, hand, arm, torso, and back, along with sustaining a collapsed lung. The 27-year-old had also received a stab wound in her left leg during the encounter, and was taken to St. Bernard Hospital and Health Care Center. She is listed in good condition.

According to this article in the Chicago Tribune, there was another woman in the apartment during the time of the stabbing, but she did not receive any injuries. None of the women were identified in the story, and Chicago Police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli told the Tribune that criminal charges are still pending.

The article does not mention whether the two women knew each other, or why they are currently classifying it as a domestic disturbance.
