Anchorage police arrested a woman after she allegedly stabbed another woman in the face Friday afternoon at a South Anchorage home.
According to a release from the Anchorage Police Department, just before 2:00 p.m. officers responded to a home located on 10000 block of Tahneeta Drive, where a woman had reportedly been stabbed. Police said the victim fled the home and went to a neighbor’s house, where the neighbor called APD for help.
Officers arrived on scene and found the victim with a stab wound to the face. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment of the wound, which police stated was not life-threatening.
The release stated that police were told the woman was stabbed by another woman who had been in the home at the time. The attacker, identified as 20-year-old Shyla Earnshot, left the residence on foot following the altercation. APD said a K9 unit was launched to track Earnshot. She was located hiding in the woods near O’Malleys on the Green.
Earnshot was arrested, charged with assault in the second degree and taken to the Anchorage Jail.
