Police Investigate Triple Stabbing

UPDATE: Police Plan to Charge Man in Stabbings

Three people are in critical condition at local trauma centers after a violent Friday evening at a Falls Township apartment complex.

One woman was stabbed 18 times in the head, face and neck. Another woman was stabbed in the neck an unknown amount of times, police said. They added a man was found outside in the complex with stab wounds to his chest and abdomen.

Lt. Hank Ward said officers were dispatched to the apartments in the 9000 block of New Falls Road around 8:15 p.m. for reports of a stabbing. Upon arrival, they discovered the victims.

Medics took the two woman to Capital Health’s Hellene Fuild Hospital in Trenton and the man was transported to St. Mary Medical Center in Middletown.

One complex resident, who asked not to be named, said he heard one of the victims yelling. He said he could not make out what the person was saying but they sounded distressed.

Police with flashlights were spotted at the apartment complex and others were seen going in and out of one of the apartment buildings. Neighbors watched  from their balconies to see what police were doing.

A older woman accompanying another woman walking a dog carried a baseball bat. The clearly shaken woman said she carried the bat because of the stabbing that transpired earlier.

Scanner reports indicated suspect was one of the three who sustained stab wounds. However, police could not confirm that.

Falls police established the crime scene and were holding it as detectives were called. Ward said township officers were already swamped with calls related to a possible burglary and lingering power outages.

Police are expected to release more information Saturday.
