Suspect accused of stabbing driver with scissors on I-75 arrested

A Harper Woods woman was arrested Monday after she allegedly stabbed someone with scissors following a car crash on a freeway, state police said.

Michigan State Police received a 911 call at about 5:40 p.m. but the caller didn't respond to the dispatcher, officials said.

Dispatch pinpointed the location of the call's source at the ramp from northbound Interstate 75 to eastbound Interstate 696 in Hazel Park.

As troopers traveled to the scene, dispatchers used cameras on the freeway to find two vehicles that appeared to have been in a crash, authorities said. One of the vehicles appeared to be backing into the other vehicle.

Troopers arrived and found the crash. They also found one of the drivers, a 37-year-old Harper Woods woman, had stabbed the other driver in the back with scissors.

Police said medics treated the stabbing victim at the scene but he refused to be taken to a hospital.

Investigators said the troopers determined the suspect was impaired and arrested her.

After they took her to the state police post for processing, she threatened to hurt herself, authorities said. Police took her to a hospital for a mental evaluation.
