SALT LAKE CITY — A man was arrested over the weekend after police say he stabbed two of his sisters and threatened a third person.

Abdullah Mohammed Abdi, 30, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on Friday for investigation of aggravated assault resulting in serious injury, aggravated assault, and aggravated robbery.

Officers were called to the area of 4000 S. West Temple on a report of a family fight that had turned violent, said Unified Police Sgt. Melody Gray. Two women, both sisters of Abdi, were stabbed, she said. Their injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.

“I observed blood all over the floor of the apartment. Victim one had a blanket wrapped around her arm to stop the bleeding. Both victims were transported to St. Marks Hospital by medical,” the arresting officer wrote in a Salt Lake County Jail report.

“Victims both stated that suspect grabbed a knife from the sink and attacked them with it.”

Officers looking for Abdi spotted him near 3600 S. State. It was at that location that police say Abdi threatened a third person with a knife after the victim refused to give him gas money, the report states. Officers from both Unified and South Salt Lake police assisted in arresting Abdi.
