PEMBROKE -- A woman who was reportedly stabbed multiple times in Pembroke Saturday, has been transported to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston after driving away from the scene and contacting police in nearby Hanson, according to news reports.

The woman, who police identified as a 49-year-old Hanson resident, is believed to have been stabbed several times in the chest at Stetson Pond beach on Plymouth Street in Pembroke around 9:30 a.m. before fleeing the scene in a black SUV, the Brockton Enterprise reported.
