Police found a woman who was stabbed in the leg in the parking lot on Sunday afternoon at around 4:25 p.m., WTNH states. She was brought to a nearby hospital and is expected to be okay.
Police say a group of mostly juveniles went to the mall in order to have a fight. The woman walked out of the upper-level parking garage. Then, 18-year-old Destiny Burgos of Hartford, began fighting a 15-year-old girl.
As the fight took place, other juveniles were recording with their phones, and the 15-year-old allegedly took out a pocketknife from her pocket and stabbed Burgos multiple times in the leg before running off. Two juvenile suspects left the fight and went into an adjacent wood line and were found hiding in the woods.
The woman was taken to the hospital for her injuries and is expected to be okay. Four people, including three juveniles, were charged with breach of peace in the second degree. The 15-year-old was arrested and charged with assault in the first degree and reckless endangerment in the first degree.
Burgos was charged with assault in the third degree.
