A 7-year-old girl dies after being stabbed on a sidewalk in a Chicago shopping district over the weekend, police say. The suspect is described as an unidentified woman who allegedly attacked the child.
Multiple outlets report that bystanders detain the woman suspected of the stabbing until police arrive and take her into custody. Police are investigating the incident, including what prompted the attack. While accounts emphasize the role of bystanders in holding the suspect, they rely on police statements for key details such as the location, age of the victim, and that the attacker is believed to be a woman who is now in custody.
