Police sealed off a two-block area of Van Nuys Boulevard in Pacoima for more than six hours early Sunday in an unsuccessful search for a suspect who allegedly stabbed a woman during a domestic dispute.
The incident occurred in the 12800 block of Van Nuys at about 3:20 a.m., when the woman was stabbed in the upper body, said Los Angeles police Sgt. Jesse Ojeda of the Foothill station.
The woman, whose name was not released, was taken to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, where she was undergoing surgery. She was reported to be in stable condition with wounds that were not life-threatening, Ojeda said. Police were still trying to determine what weapon was used.
The suspect and victim had previously been in a relationship, Ojeda said. Several children were in the home during the incident but were unharmed, he said.
Police set up a perimeter in the area around the intersection of Van Nuys Boulevard and De Foe Avenue until about 10 a.m. but the suspect remained at large. Police provided no description.
