Woman arrested after allegedly stabbing partner with kitchen knife during domestic dispute
Police in Upland arrested a woman who allegedly stabbed her partner during a domestic dispute Wednesday morning.
According to the Upland Police Department, officers were dispatched around 1 a.m. to a home near the intersection of Alpine Street and Palm Avenue.
Neighbors had reported an intoxicated woman armed with a kitchen knife was yelling and had just stabbed a man in an apartment complex.
Police arrived on scene and found the woman in front of the building. When she spotted officers, she took off on foot while “barefoot and in a dress,” police said.
Body cam footage shared by the Police Department shows the woman running between apartment buildings and into an alley before ultimately surrendering to armed officers. The knife was located nearby.

The victim suffered two stab wounds to his back, each of which required stitches, police said.
The woman was arrested and booked into jail to await possible charges for assault with a deadly weapon and running from police. She could also face charges for child endangerment because children were home during the violent confrontation.
“Day in and day out, we encourage people in volatile relationships to seek counseling/assistance or to end the relationship,” the Police Department wrote on social media.
Police officials also urged suspects not to run from officers lest they make a bad situation worse.
