Police said the woman went on a stabbing attack and chased after others with a knife, including a mother and her 7-year-old child. A 69-year-old man and his 42-year-old wife are in the hospital after being stabbed multiple times by a woman, according to investigators with the Houston Police Department.
Investigators say they responded to an apartment complex near Broadway Street and Rockhill Street at 9 p.m. on Wednesday.
" actually got a hold of them, stabbed the older male twice in the stomach, once in the back, and stabbed the other lady in the stomach three times," HPD Lt. R. Willkens said. Earlier, the woman also allegedly threatened a man outside of a nearby convenience store, according to HPD, before he ran away. Detectives say the woman came to the apartment complex and encountered a mother and her child, who were also threatened.
" a lady and her 7-year-old child she was going to stab them if they didn't run," Lt. Willkens said. The pair managed to get away, and HPD says the woman then approached a group of four people and is accused of stabbing the man and woman multiple times.
"She was obviously in some kind of crisis. We're not sure. She's telling us, after we actually took her into custody, she's on seizure medications or something like that, so don't know where all that's going to go just yet," Willkens said. Copyright © 2026 KTRK-TV. All Rights Reserved.
