CHICAGO (CBS) - A woman was stabbed and critically wounded Friday evening on busy Halsted Street in Pilsen.
At 7:15 p.m., a 35-year-old woman got into a quarrel with another woman and a man near 23rd and Halsted streets. The quarrel turned physical when the man took out a sharp object and stabbed a woman, police said.
The victim suffered one puncture wound to the abdomen and one to the arm. She was taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County in critical condition, police said.
