Police responded to a report of a stabbing on Brandywine Drive in East Boston around 3 p.m. Friday. When officers arrived, they found a 56-year-old woman who had been stabbed, Sgt. Detective John Boyle, a Boston Police Department spokesperson, told MassLive.
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for her stab wounds, which were originally life-threatening. Her injuries were later downgraded to non-life-threatening, Boyle said.
A person was later placed under arrest in connection with the stabbing. The individual is expected to be charged with assault and battery on a disabled person and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, according to Boyle.
