A man was arrested Wednesday morning after a woman and a 5-year-old girl were seriously wounded in a stabbing earlier this week in North Philadelphia, police said.
Sean Tucker, 28, described by investigators as the woman’s ex-boyfriend, has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and other crimes in relation to the attack, according to the police department.
Officers were called at around 7:30 p.m. Monday to a house on the 1800 block of N. 20th Street, where they found the 37-year-old woman and girl covered in blood, authorities said. Both had suffered multiple stab wounds and were hospitalized in critical condition.
Tucker’s attorney could not be identified Wednesday.
