TOLEDO, Ohio — Two people were stabbed in two different incidents nearly 12 hours apart on Wednesday.
The first stabbing incident happened in north Toledo where Toledo police responded to a call just after 10 a.m. about a person stabbed in the 2500 block of Walnut Street. Before officers arrived, the victim, a 39-year-old woman, left the scene on foot. She was later identified as a walk-in patient at St. Vincent Medical Center and was treated for stab wounds.
The woman is currently in critical condition. Officers at the scene detained a 58-year-old male in connection with the stabbing.
The second stabbing incident happened in Point Place where TPD responded just after 9 p.m. to the Ottawa Cove Apartments located on South Ottawa Cove Drive. A 25-year-old man told dispatchers his 24-year-old girlfriend stabbed him.
Upon arrival, police took the man's girlfriend into custody. The man was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
