Jefferson City police arrested a woman on Thursday in connection with a reported knife attack earlier in the day, according to a news release.

Shortly after noon, the release said, officers went to the 200 block of Dover Street, north of Truman Boulevard, for a reported assault. They found a woman with serious injuries, and said she had been assaulted with a knife. Medics took the victim to a local hospital; police aren’t releasing her condition at this time.

Police said the suspect had fled before officers arrived. About a half hour later, police found and arrested the 33-year-old female suspect on Stadium Boulevard and took her in for questioning.

The release said charges recommended to the prosecutor against the suspect include domestic assault and armed criminal action.
