Suspect turns himself in after stabbing of three, including two children, in Northeast Philadelphia
The triple stabbing occurred in the city's Mayfair section.
Three people, including two children, were stabbed on Sunday afternoon in the city’s Mayfair section. The suspect later turned himself in, police said.
Police responded to a call to the 3200 block of Knorr Street shortly after 2 p.m. and found a 37-year-old woman stabbed multiple times, a 15-year-old boy stabbed twice in the back of the head, and a 10-year-old stabbed once in the back of the head and once in the left leg.
A neighbor told CBS3 that she called police after the children ran to her and said the suspect had attacked them and their mother inside their house.
Medics took the victims to Jefferson Frankford Hospital, where the woman was listed in critical condition and the two children were listed in stable condition.
The relationship between the suspect and the victims was not available.
The suspect turned himself in at the 15th District police station and was taken to the hospital, where a positive identification was made and the suspect was arrested, police said, adding that they expected to release further details Monday.
