HOUSTON \u2013 Two people were stabbed, and several others narrowly escaped after a woman allegedly went on a violent rampage Wednesday night at an apartment complex in southeast Houston, according to police.<\/p>\n
Houston police say the incident happened around 9 p.m. in the 8600 block of Broadway.<\/p>\n
Investigators say the suspect, a 40-year-old woman, first caused a disturbance at a convenience store near the apartment complex. Police say she pulled out a knife and began chasing a man. He was able to get away unharmed.<\/p>\n
But officers say the woman then walked into the nearby apartment complex, where witnesses say people were already running from her before anyone was stabbed.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, the suspect approached a mother and her 7-year-old child and threatened to stab them. The two made it safely back inside their apartment without injury.<\/p>\n
Moments later, police say the woman encountered a group of four people outside the complex.<\/p>\n
Two people managed to escape.<\/p>\n
But investigators say a 42-year-old woman was stabbed three times in the stomach, and her 69-year-old husband was stabbed twice in the stomach and once in the back.<\/p>\n
Despite their injuries, both victims were able to make it upstairs to their apartment before family members called 911.<\/p>\n
The suspect was later taken into custody without further incident.<\/p>\n
Police say investigators are still trying to determine whether the woman was experiencing a mental health crisis. Authorities said the suspect mentioned she was taking seizure medication, but it remains unclear whether she is homeless or where she lives.<\/p>\n
The victims\u2019 conditions have not yet been released.<\/p>\n
