Woman Sent To Hospital After Dorchester Stabbing

DORCHESTER (CBS) - A woman was sent to a local trauma center after a Dorchester stabbing.

This started as a simple argument and escalated. One of the women pulled a kitchen knife and she has been arrested, the other is in critical condition.

The stabbing occurred shortly after 11 a.m. at the Franklin Field Development courtyard.

"I see them fight and I see April go on the floor," said Teresa Dagraca, who was at the laundromat across the street when she heard the fight and ran out to find her friend on the ground.

"She was stabbed in the stomach. It was bad and I started crying because I got a kid," Dagraca said.

Another woman couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"I called 911 and I went across the street to the fire station to get her some water. I really couldn't really tell more," she said.

Police are still unsure what the argument was about. They just know that the woman was badly wounded in the stomach area.

"Unfortunately, it looks like a neighbor-on-neighbor dispute here. We have one woman in custody and one in critical condition," Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said.

Police say that the charges will be attempted murder.
