Officers arrested a woman at a Capitol Hill apartment last night for stabbing her boyfriend with an 8-inch kitchen knife. Just before midnight, officers were dispatched to a report of a man and woman yelling inside an apartment in the 1300 block of E. John St. When Officers arrived, they heard the man yelling “Don’t kill me! Stop stabbing me!”

Officers knocked on the door and the female suspect answered. Responding officers took the woman into custody while other officers located the victim lying on the floor with severe stab wounds to the center of his chest and abdomen.

Officers applied pressure to the victim’s wounds while waiting for medics, who arrived and transported the 27-year-old victim to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Officers located a bloody kitchen knife with an 8- inch blade at the scene and booked the 31-year-old female suspect to the King County Jail for Investigation of Domestic Violence Assault.
