A woman suffered a stab wound and a couple faces assault charges after a melee in North Scranton Tuesday night.
Police responded to a disturbance in the 2000 block of Edna Avenue, which reportedly involved multiple individuals and a suspect with a firearm, according to a news release.
A female suffering from a stab wound to her right arm told officers Malachi Bush, 18, stabbed her and then tried to hit her with his vehicle. A second female victim told officers Ishalamayra Fred, 29, assaulted her as well.
Bush and Fred fled, but were quickly located by police in a convenience store parking lot in the 1300 block of North Main Avenue.
Bush is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and harassment. Fred is charged with simple assault and harassment. Both have preliminary hearings set for later this month.
