Jamestown woman charged in Saturday stabbing

A Saturday afternoon stabbing has led to charges for a Jamestown woman.

Helen A. Anderson, 56, of Jamestown, was charged with second-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. At 2 p.m., officers responded to a residence on the city’s westside for a reported Domestic Dispute involving a male victim that had been stabbed.

Upon arrival and after further investigation, officers were able to identify Anderson as the primary aggressor of the altercation. Anderson and the male victim engaged in a verbal argument that shortly after turned physical, where the victim was stabbed in the forearm with a pair of medical scissors. Anderson was placed into custody and transported to UPMC on injuries she sustained during the incident.

Anderson was treated, released, and transported to the Jamestown City Jail afterward without incident where she was being held pending arraignment.

Starting at $3.50/week.
