According to the Deseret News, police were called to the woman’s home near 1500 West and 600 North Saturday afternoon on reports of a domestic disturbance. They arrived to find the woman stabbed in the back with a kitchen knife.
The victim told officers she was trying to discipline the boy by taking his phone and he reacted violently. The knife narrowly missed severing her spinal cord.
The boy is now being evaluated by mental health professionals and will likely face an aggravated assault charge.
The woman is expected to make a full recovery.
