CARBONDALE – Carbondale Police continue to investigate a Thursday afternoon stabbing.

Just before 3:30 p.m., police responded to a disturbance in the 300 block of East Birch Street and found two victims who had been stabbed by a juvenile female with whom they had a dispute. They were all known acquaintances. Both individuals were taken to a local hospital with what were considered non-life-threatening injuries.

The juvenile female who stabbed the two individuals was taken into custody for Aggravated Battery. The Jackson County State’s Attorney’s Office was consulted and approved the juvenile for detention in a youth detention facility. Several facilities were contacted but none were willing or able to accept the juvenile. The juvenile was ultimately released to a family member.

Anyone with information about the incident should contact Carbondale Police at 618-549-2121.
