Columbus police today are looking for the suspects in the separate stabbings of two women.
A 25-year-old Lisa”s Land of Learning employee was stabbed in the left shoulder by what may have been a pair of scissors outside of day care, on Sixth Avenue North, at about 8:30 this morning.
Ex-boyfriend Dominico Joeta Saddler, 25, of 1103 Fifth St. N., approached her from behind while she was walking to her vehicle, said police Public Information Officer Terrie Songer.
She was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle, where the broken blade is being removed from her shoulder. Saddler, who is a convicted felon, had not been taken into custody by press time.
In the other incident, a 19-year-old woman was stabbed Tuesday at about 7 p.m. when she tried to break up a fight between eight men, one of whom she knew, near the M&M Grocery at Fourth Street South and 12th Avenue South.
She discovered she had been stabbed after she returned home, Songer said. She waited to report the stabbing until today, when she went to the hospital for treatment.
No suspects were in custody by press time.
The names of the victims, who were not seriously injured, will not be released, Songer said.
