Police arrested a Grays Ferry woman for allegedly stabbing her mate’s left hand.
At approximately 3:55 a.m. Nov. 30, the complainant, who claims he had been arguing with his fiancé on the second floor of their 1500-block-of-South-Corlies-Street residence, went downstairs where he contends his partner was waiting for him with a large knife, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He added that his partner attempted to stab him while blaring “I’m going to (expletive) you up!”
While retreating, the complainant held up his left arm in defense, with the female supposedly stabbing him multiple times. Driving himself to the West Philly-situated Mercy Philadelphia Hospital, he received more than 100 stitches to close the wound. Authorities recovered a knife at his Grays Ferry quarters and arrested Dawn Simmons. They charged the 47-year-old, who had not posted her $75,000 bail as of press time and who awaits a Dec. 15 preliminary hearing, with possession of an instrument of crime, assault, attempted murder, recklessly endangering another person and making terroristic threats.
