A woman is recovering after being stabbed just before 1:00 Monday morning in the 2600 hundred block of N. 41st Street. “Arriving officers located a 41-year-old female with injuries to her left hand, head, and chest,” says Sergeant Chris Vollmer. “The female advised she was outside smoking when she was approached by an unknown male in dark clothing, who asked for a cigarette.”
The woman told the man she did not have anymore and says he responded by swinging an unknown object at her. The suspect fled the area to the south. The victim’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Lincoln Police Department at 402-441-6000 or CrimeStoppers at 402-475-3600.
