Pittsburgh police have arrested a suspect in a double stabbing Friday afternoon in the city’s East Liberty neighborhood.

The stabbings were reported at 3:15 p.m. in the 6400 block of Centre Avenue.

One female victim, who had superficial wounds to her arm, provided officers a description of a female suspect and the direction in which she fled, according to a city Public Safety spokeswoman. That victim was treated by responding medics.

Police were alerted to a second female victim inside a house who had more serious injuries. Some officers began rendering aid to the second victim as medics were en route while other officers took the suspect into custody in a nearby alley after a short foot pursuit.

The second victim was taken to an area hospital in stable condition.

The suspect also was taken to a hospital to be evaluated for medical complaints, pending transport to the Allegheny County Jail.

Public Safety officials didn’t release the name of the suspect but indicated she will face charges.
