The Salina Police Department responded to the Salina Regional Health Center on Friday around 1:05 a.m. for a stabbing victim.
According to SPD Lt. Kyle Tonniges, the 32-year-old victim reported that the wound resulted from an escalated argument between him and his girlfriend at the 1400 block of Cheyenne Avenue.
"During this argument, she took a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the chest," Tonniges said. "Then, he was given a ride to the hospital by her, and then she left — we were able to locate her later on in the day Friday morning."
35-year-old Erica Wroten stabbed the victim near the heart, but according to Tonniges, the emergency room staff discharged him after treating his injury.
Officers located Wroten at the 500 block of Russell Avenue and arrested her for attempted first-degree murder, domestic battery, interference with law enforcement and violating a protection order.
