A woman stabbed her 51-year-old boyfriend in the chest with a butcher knife early Friday morning, police say, sending the man to the hospital with a serious injury that has since been stabilized.<\/p>\n

About 12:54 a.m. Friday morning, Juneau Police Department received a 911 call from the 51-year-old man, who hasn’t been identified, that his girlfriend had just stabbed him in the chest, according to a JPD release<\/a>. JPD and Capital City Fire\/Rescue responded to the man’s home in the 2800 block of Postal Way.<\/p>\n

The man was walking away from the home when officers contacted him. The man bled from the chest wound and was in a great deal of pain, police say.<\/p>\n

CCFR treated the man while JPD entered the man’s home. Inside, they contacted the girlfriend, identified as Juneau woman Valerie Wilson, 48.<\/p>\n

Officers learned Wilson and the man had a brief verbal argument and then separated in the home. Shortly afterward, Wilson approached the victim and stabbed him in the chest with a large knife, they said. Officers found the bloody weapon in the kitchen sink.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old victim was taken to the hospital for treatment. As of noon Friday, police said the man’s injuries had been stabilized.<\/p>\n

Police arrested Wilson for first degree assault, a class A felony. She was taken to Lemon Creek Correctional Center and held without bail.<\/p>\n
