BLOOMINGTON – A woman is hospitalized with very serious injuries after a man stabbed her Thursday night on Bloomington’s east side, a police lieutenant said.

The woman suffered “multiple” stab wounds about 9:25 p.m. in an apartment in the 2100 block of Todd Drive, near East Empire Street, the lieutenant also said.

The suspect is in police custody after trying to resist arrest, according to police. He too was taken to a local hospital, but information about his injuries was not immediately available.

The lieutenant said the suspect and victim knew each other, but it was not immediately known whether this was a case of domestic violence.
