Woman reports attack

El Dorado police are investigating an alleged incident in which a woman reported that she and her children were attacked by another woman and her teenage daughter who were armed with knives.

Just before 8 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called to the 700 block of East Block in reference to a stabbing.

A woman told police that at approximately 4 p.m., a teenage girl was walking her dog in front her residence and allegedly told her children, 17 and 9, to go inside the house because the “dog was fighting against his leash and would bite them.”

When her children told her about the girl’s alleged comments, the woman went outside and confronted the teen, asking why she would knowingly walk a “dangerous dog down the street,” according to a police report.

The woman said the teen threatened to return with her own mother, and the pair came to the house nearly four hours later, both wielding butcher knives.

The complainant said the girl’s mother was gesturing widely and attempting to speak to her, but she could not understand what the woman was saying.

She said she struck the girl’s mother when the other woman pointed her finger “extremely close to her face and forehead.”

The complainant said the suspects then attempted to cut her and her children, and she fought them off.

She said the teenage girl chased her 9-year-old son with a knife.

The pair then left in a red vehicle.

Police said the woman had a small cut on her right hand; her daughter had a small laceration on her right hand; and her son sustained a small scrape on his left hand.

The complainant’s daughter told police that the adult suspect was deaf.
