California Woman Stabbed in Neck by Sister During Haircut, Police Say
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA – A shocking family dispute turned violent overnight after a woman was stabbed in the neck by her sister while getting a haircut at a home in Southern California, according to police.
Authorities said the altercation occurred late Tuesday evening at a residence where the sisters were drinking wine and cutting hair when an argument escalated. During the fight, one of the women allegedly grabbed a broken wine glass and stabbed her sister in the neck.
Police responded to the scene after receiving reports of a stabbing. When officers arrived, they found the victim suffering from a serious but non-life-threatening wound. She was treated at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital for further care.
Suspect Taken Into Custody
Officers detained the suspect at the home without incident. Investigators said alcohol is believed to have played a role in the altercation, though the exact cause of the argument remains under investigation.
Authorities have not released the names of either woman, pending further inquiry.
“It appears to have been a domestic-related incident that escalated very quickly,” one police spokesperson said. “The investigation is ongoing, and charges will be determined by the District Attorney’s Office.”
Neighborhood in Shock
Neighbors told local reporters they were stunned by the violent scene in what they described as a normally quiet neighborhood. One resident said they saw flashing lights and multiple patrol cars arrive just before midnight.
Police remained at the home for several hours, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.
Ongoing Investigation
The case is being handled by the local police department’s violent crimes division, which is reviewing statements and physical evidence to determine whether additional charges will be filed.
Authorities urged the public to reach out with any information that might help clarify the sequence of events leading up to the assault.
